Bwabwata National Park, located in northeastern Namibia, was established in 2007 through the merger of Caprivi Game Park and Mahango Game Park, covering 6,274 km². The park is a unique blend of conservation and human cohabitation, as it is home to around 5,500 residents living within its boundaries. Situated between the Zambezi and Kavango East regions, by the Okavango and Kwando rivers, Bwabwata serves as a crucial migratory route for species such as the African elephant, making it significant for regional biodiversity. Originally designated as a Nature Park in 1963, Bwabwata's evolution reflects Namibia's changing conservation approach. Its diverse landscapes, accessible via the Trans-Caprivi Highway and other routes, host a variety of ecosystems that support a wide range of wildlife, including elephants, Cape buffaloes, hippos, lions, and leopards, as well as numerous bird species, cementing its role as a key biodiversity hotspot and an Important Bird Area.

    We were told about Pupa Falls and White Sands. We very surprised to see the development to the infrastructure. Nice restaurant pool area and very friendly staff. Beautiful part of the river. You have to stop there. N$50 entry per person for a day visit- Money well spend.

    We went specifically to the Mahangu core area part of the park. Had a great experience from reception to exit gate. Nice small park, had some great sights. Animals were calm and close. A definate must do when your in the area.

    Wonderful park to do a game drive on your own. Good gravel road, no need for 4x4. We saw a lot and a great variety of.animals. They have lions and leopards, we didn't see them though! Loved game drive we did here. We did it in 4 hours with long stops.
