By car, Mudumu National Park is around 1,150km/715mi from Windhoek, Namibia’s capital city. It is located within the Zambezi Region (formerly Caprivi Strip) and mostly visited on a self-drive safari. The road conditions are often poor and sometimes unnavigable.

Most visitors enter Namibia through Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), 40km/25mi east of Windhoek. If you are self-driving, this is where you should rent your 4x4 vehicle. Alternatively, you may choose a fly-in safari, using charter flights to get between various parks and lodges. Lianshulu Bush Lodge, located inside the park, has a private airstrip.

Charter flights are typically booked by your tour operator as part of your tour package. They usually leave from Eros Airport (ERS) in Windhoek. FlyNamibia offers domestic flights from Windhoek to the town of Katima Mulilo (also in the Zambezi Region), from where it’s a 90-minute drive to the park. This transfer should be handled by your operator.

Mudumu is closer to northern Botswana than to most of Namibia, and many travelers visit both countries. They often fly into Kasane or Maun in Botswana and cross into Namibia from there.
