Mangetti National Park, National park in eastern Kalahari woodlands, Namibia.
Description
This park spans 420 square kilometers (162 square miles) of tree and shrub savannah, where ancient dune formations run northwest to southeast creating distinct habitat zones.
History
The Ministry of Environment and Tourism officially designated this area as a national park in 2008, converting it from its former function as a game breeding station.
Culture
Local communities participate in park management through partnerships that generate income and support conservation efforts across the northeastern Kalahari region.
Practical
Visitors can observe wildlife including sable antelope, leopards, hyenas, and wildebeest through day visits via the main entrance near National Road B8. The dry season offers better conditions for game viewing.
Did you know?
Dune crests support Kalahari woodland species while valleys maintain mixed acacia savannah ecosystems, creating microhabitats that attract different wildlife populations throughout seasonal cycles.
