Mudumo National Park Namibia

NAMIBIA SAFARIS AND THE MUDUMO NATIONAL PARK:

The Mudumo National Park, often referred to in African safari brochures as the Mudumu National Park, indicates the same lush Namibia area on the Eastern border of the Caprivi Strip. This popular Namibia safari holiday destination requires some expertise in 4x4 navigation as off-road driving is necessary - adding some adventure to your Namibia safari experience. Many people believe that the best way to safari in Namibia is by 4x4. We have an exceptional fleet of 4x4 custom built Land Cruisers that will tackle the Namibian terrain easily while you sit back and enjoy your Namibia safari.

Dense savannah and Mopane woodland characterise the Mudumo National Park, which stretches across a vast Namibian area of 1010 square kilometres. In contrast to other parts of Namibia the Mudumo National Park is lush and swampy, bordered by the Kwando River to the west. The wildlife includes some rarely seen water antelope; the amphibious sitatunga and the red lechwe. Their hooves have adapted to manage the Mudumo Park’s swampy terrain and the sitatunga is a good swimmer.

Another rare sighting in the Mudumo National Park is the recent return of the wild dog to this Namibian area. In February 2008, a litter of six pups was spotted in the Park. In addition to the antelope and dogs, buffalo, Burchells' zebra, elephants, hippos and crocodiles can also be spotted. Tiger fishing on the Kwando River is a further Namibia safari holiday attraction. However, this Namibian area is a high risk malaria area, so take the necessary precautions when embarking on a Mudumo National Park safari.

Birdlife abounds in the Mudumo National Park with some 430 species of bird. Some of the more extraordinary birds found in this Namibian area include the Slaty egrets, white-rumped babblers, greater swamp warblers, chirping cisticolas, swamp boubous, black coucals, coppery tailed and Senegal coucals, wattled cranes, pink throated longclaws, pygmy geese, knob-billed duck, lesser gallinules, African and lesser Jacana.

On many Namibia safari itineraries, the beautiful Lianshulu private lodge, situated within the Mudumo National Park’s borders and the Camp Kwando just outside the Mudumo Park, add glamour and luxury to your Namibia safari. The safari offers day and night game drives, guided walks and boat trips as well as sunset cruises on the Kwando River. The Mudumo National Park is a diverse and game-rich Namibia safari destination – a worthwhile inclusion on any Namibian holiday.
