The Khaudom National Park is located in Kalahari Desert. The three largest dry rivers, the Omiramba, Nhoma, Cwiba and Khaudom run through the wildlife park. They play an important ecological role, with rainfall during the wet season.

The Kavango region has a long dry season from April to November and a subsequent wet period from December to March.

The dominant vegetation in the park are species-rich, high and short dry forest and dry acacia forest.

Because of the unspoiled nature reserve, a rich and varied wildlife is found in the vast dry forest. The ideal time for the wildlife is from June to October. From November to March more than 320 species of birds inhabit the area, including parrots and more than 50 birds of prey.

Big game can be found in the park occasionally, more than 500 elephant s, many giraffe s and many antelope, including horse antelope, Kudu, lyre antelope, Eland and Reedbuck. Even the stock of prey animals is high. Besides the smaller cats, there is a larger population of lion s, but also Leopard s, stain hyena n, Jackal s and occasionally Cheetah s and even Hyena dogs.
