Khaudum Camp
If you looking at exploring Khaudum National Park than you will be happy to know that the campsites at Khaudum in the north have been renovated. The park offers diverse, spectacular landscape and wildlife, an excellent place where guests can expect to spot a roan antelope and wild dogs.
There are now 6 sites situated under camelthorn trees, overlooking the omuramba. Each site has a braai area, wooden structured private ablutions and a shading seating area.
Khaudum National Park is a 4x4 only destination. The Park must be entered by at least two 4 X 4 off road vehicles per party Comment: Due to the difficulty of the roads and no facilities such as petrol stations or vehicle repair in or near the park it is required to enter the park with two 4x4 vehicles to ensure that support in case of getting stuck or vehicle problems is at hand
