Khaudom Game Reserve Caprivi Namibia

Location on the north-eastern side of Namibia, ending at the border fence between Namibia and Botswana

Geography
The park covers an area of 3842 sq. kms dissected by Kalahari dunes overgrown with dry forest of varying height

Patches of deep Kalahari sand make it difficult to negotiate in places which probably contributes to the fact that Khaudom remains one of Namibia’s almost untouched areas.

There are many types of rare wood among the deciduous trees e.g. Kiaat and Manketti.

They are subterranean river courses which fill with surface water only during the rainy season
