Anthony is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the 'Botswana & Namibia' guide.
With over 400 species recorded, Nkasa Rupara National Park (formerly Mamili NP) is Namibia’s best birding area. The year-round marshes create a great habitat for a large variety of species and migrants are abundant in the wet summer months, from November to April. Some interesting species to look out for are breeding pairs of wattled cranes, Denham’s bustard, coppery-tailed coucal and rosy-throated longclaw.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Bird watching in Nkasa Rupara is excellent throughout the year and at its absolute prime during the Wet season with the coming of summer migrant species (November to April). However, at this time, the majority of the park often floods and becomes virtually impassable. A visit during the Dry season, from May to October, is more practical.
