Buffalo Game Park
Buffalo Game Park, located in the lush northeastern region of Namibia near Divundu, is a hidden gem that offers an authentic wildlife experience. This lesser-known reserve, part of the Bwabwata National Park, is nestled between the Okavango and Kwando rivers, providing a unique environment where diverse ecosystems converge.
The park is home to various wildlife, including elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and the park’s namesake, the Cape buffalo. Birdwatchers will also find Buffalo Game Park a paradise, with over 400 bird species recorded in the area, including rare and endemic species like the Slaty Egret and the Wattled Crane.
Unlike Namibia’s more famous parks, Buffalo Game Park offers a quieter, more intimate safari experience. Game drives and guided walking tours allow visitors to explore its landscapes, which range from dense forests to open savannas. The park’s remoteness ensures that wildlife sightings are frequent and often undisturbed.
Buffalo Game Park is ideal for those looking to escape the crowds and experience Namibia’s wilderness in its purest form. Whether you’re tracking herds of buffalo or simply soaking in the tranquillity of the bush, this park offers a truly immersive African safari experience.
