Mudumu National Park lies in the Zambezi Region of north-eastern Namibia, in southern Africa. It is a wilderness area of riverine forest and floodplain, shaped by the seasonal waters that move through the land and draw wildlife to them.
What to expect
The park is known for its natural variety. Visitors can expect to see:
- Riverine forests along the water's edge
- Open floodplains
- Elephants and hippos
- More than 430 bird species
The mix of woodland, water and open ground makes it a setting for birdwatching and wildlife observation, and a good place for those who prefer quiet, undeveloped country to busy parks.
Planning a visit
Because the park is a pristine wilderness, it suits travellers who are comfortable with remote areas and who value nature over facilities. The surrounding Zambezi Region is the gateway to the park, so it is worth planning your route and accommodation in advance.

Mudumu rewards a slower pace: time on the water's edge, patience for birds and animals, and an appreciation of a landscape that has been left largely as it is.
