Welcome to Bwabwata National Park, a unique wilderness area that stretches across the Caprivi Strip in northeastern Namibia. Covering approximately 6,274 square kilometers, this park is not just a haven for wildlife but also a vibrant community where conservation and local cultures coexist.

Bwabwata is distinguished by its diverse ecosystems, ranging from lush riverine forests and floodplains along the Kavango and Kwando rivers to expansive savannahs and woodlands. This rich variety of habitats supports an incredible array of wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and an impressive assortment of antelope species such as roan, sable, and red lechwe.

The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 400 bird species recorded, including the rare African skimmer and the majestic fish eagle. The combination of water and land provides perfect conditions for spotting both aquatic and terrestrial birds, making it a must-visit destination for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts.

One of Bwabwata's unique features is its role as a "people’s park," where conservation efforts are integrated with the livelihoods of local communities. The park is inhabited by the Khwe San and Mbukushu people, who play an active role in its management and offer visitors the opportunity to learn about their rich cultural heritage and traditional practices.

Bwabwata National Park is more than just a wildlife sanctuary; it’s a testament to the harmonious relationship between nature and people, offering a truly immersive experience in one of Namibia’s most dynamic and beautiful landscapes.
