Khaudum National Park offers great bird watching. It has more than 250 species recorded and is a magnet for summer migrants, such as Abdim’s stork, African golden oriole, yellow-billed kite, steppe eagle and lesser spotted eagle. The migratory birds are present from November to April. Although Khaudum offers great birdlife, it is a challenging area to both get to and explore. You need to be well kitted out for a trip here and have some wilderness experience in the African bush.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Khaudum can be visited throughout the year, but the best time for bird watching is during the Wet season (November to April) when summer migrants arrive. However, the park becomes very marshy in places and the roads tend to deteriorate. General wildlife viewing is more successful from May to October, during the Dry season.
