Safari to Mudumu & Mamili

Botswana-style safari at a fraction of the price

Set in the extreme northeast of Namibia, Mudumu and Mamili are two small wildlife reserves which are able to offer Botswana style safari at a fraction of the price.

Unlike the deserts of western Namibia, the reserves in this area are well watered, with verdant forests and grasslands. There is a very broad range of wildlife, including lions, leopards and cheetahs.

The main activity here is vehicle safari, with some lodges also offering proper night vehicle safari. Motorboat safari is also possible along the Kwando River. Some camps also offer decent walking safari.

The Mudumu and Mamili areas feature relatively rarely in trips, since epic self-drive trips are inherently not for everyone.

The usual stay duration is 3 nights.

Seasonality

The wildlife viewing in Mudumu and Mamili is usually strongest during the Jul-Oct dry season, but there are very good reasons during other months.

Getting there

Access is usually by self-drive vehicle on the long traverse between Namibia and the Victoria Falls, or vice versa.

Where to stay

This is an up and coming safari area and there is an ever increasing range of good quality lodges to choose from.
