Mamili National Park

Mamili National Park is Namibia's version of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, a paradisiacal area of waterly channels, beautiful wetlands and reed islands.

This Park can rightly claim to be the jewel of the Caprivi Region.
For this Mamili perhaps stands alone when compared to all other Protected Areas in the country.
It not only forms the largest wetland area with conservation status in Namibia .... it is wild, it is untrammelled, and nature is at its scintillating best !!  .....  but moreover it can be inundated with extreme water levels.

Mamili National Park is located on the Nkasa and Lupala islands on the Kwando and Linyanti rivers in south-western corner of East Caprivi.

During the dry season the islands can be reached by road, but after rains the area becomes flooded, cutting them off from the mainland.

Vegetation is dominated by species associated with floodplains and termitaria. Floodplains provide ideal protection for swamp and floodplainmammals such as buffalo, wild dog, red lechwe, sitatunga ......

It is habitat to elephant, lion, crocodile and hippo.

Mamili National Park is also known for its birds population.

But it is difficult to reach this remote and beautiful place ...... only visitors with 4x4 can use the roads.

Accomodation is limited to undeveloped wilderness campsites.
