Why go
Why visit this place?
Bwabwata protects a major wildlife corridor while showing how core conservation areas and human settlement can coexist within one park.
When you arrive
What to expect
A long B8 crossing through Kalahari woodland, with separate controlled access to the Mahango, Buffalo, and Kwando core areas.
Local knowledge
Local tip
Do not confuse crossing the park on the B8 with entering a wildlife-viewing core area; each access point has its own conditions and guidance.
Visiting
Getting there
The B8 crosses the park between Divundu and Kongola. Divundu serves the western core areas, while Kongola serves the Kwando side.
Best time: Dry conditions usually simplify tracks and wildlife viewing; rain and flooding reshape river access, vegetation, and animal movement.
