The first people to live in the area now referred to as Bwabwata National Park were the San (Khwe and Kung), before
the first bantu tribes entered the area in the late 18th century. In 1945, following tsetse fly infestation, resident
Hambukushu, Mafwe and Mayeyi people moved out of the low lying areas in the Park.
Covering a vast area of 6,274km2, Bwabwata National Park is the largest of the four protected areas that make up theNorth-East Parks. Bwabwata is comprised of three Core Areas designated for special protection and controlled tourism – Kwando (1,345km2), Buffalo (629km2), and Mahango (245km2).

Today we area driving back to the East and we will set our camp along the Kwando river.

Mudumu National Park, one of Namibia’s least-known parks, is richly rewarding for adventurous visitors. The main attraction is the riverine habitat of the Kwando River, while inland is the Mudumu Mulapo fossilised river course and the dense mopane woodland shelter woodland species. There is no formal entrance gate or park fence – the park is separated from neighbouring communal farmland by a graded cutline.

In the afternoon we will explore the Mudumu NP on a Game Drive then back for another amazing dinner under the African Sky! 

An early morning  Game Drive takes us to explore the National Park, Mudumu is home to a large elephant population. The park acts as a corridor for these pachyderms as they migrate between Botswana, Zambia, Angola and Zimbabwe.

This is the largest wetland area with conservation status in Namibia, and is a haven for wetland species. When the flood waters from the Kwando River are high, the park becomes like a mini Okavango Delta.

There are about 1 000 buffaloes in Nkasa Rupara, the largest concentration in the country. It is an important corridor for elephants moving from Botswana to Angola and Zambia and is also considered as a core breeding area for wildlife that can disperse into neighbouring conservancies.
