A pristine protected area bordering Botswana, Mahango Game Reserve in Namibia provides a convenient stopover between Rundu and Katima Mulilo and forms part of the beautiful Bwabwata National Park. Woodlands, the Kavango River, and vast floodplains of the Okavango River basin known as 'omurambas', dominate the park's landscape, and elephants, lions, leopards and different types of antelope - including red lechwes, sables and roans, - are among the 99 species of animals found here. This park is an excellent destination for avid bird watchers, with its 400-odd species, and provides the perfect location to catch a glimpse of crocodiles and hippos in the Kavango River. Besides guided daytime wildlife safaris, the reserve also offers nighttime game drives.
