Mudumu National Park, National park in northeastern Namibia
Mudumu National Park is a protected area in northeastern Namibia featuring flat terrain with woodlands, floodplains, and wetlands shaped by the Kwando River along its western edge. The landscape varies from dry forests to seasonal water areas that support diverse wildlife habitats.
The park was established by the Namibian government in 1990 as part of the country's conservation efforts. Its boundaries have been adjusted since creation to better serve both wildlife protection and regional management needs.
The park works with local communities in the Zambezi Region to balance conservation with traditional land use practices. Visitors can see how these partnerships support both wildlife protection and local livelihoods during their time there.
Visitors need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to navigate the sandy roads throughout the park, especially during rainy seasons when routes become challenging. Malaria prevention is essential in this region, so taking appropriate precautions before arrival is important.
The park has no boundary fences, allowing elephants and other large animals to migrate freely across four countries. This open landscape creates one of Africa's largest transnational wilderness areas where wildlife moves naturally across borders.
