Located in Namibia :: Kavango  :: Divundu Area
Category: Protected Areas :: Protected Area

Booking

Mahango Core Area is situated on the western side of the Okavango along the C48 close to the Popa Falls. The small park has a size of only 245 km² and is ideal for shorter game drives. The Mahango Core Area forms part of the Bwabwata National Park which was proclaimed in 2007. Travellers from Namibia to Botswana, may use the transit route through the park at no cost. A small conservation fee is payable to make use of the game drive tracks along the river. (Apr-24)

It is a very remote area with very little development. Besides the main road that runs through the park, joining Namibia to Botswana, there are only two other “tracks” in the park. The one route is accessible with a normal vehicle and the other route you will need a 4x4 vehicle.
