Birds & Birding in Nkasa Rupara National Park

Nkasa Rupara Operators Nkasa Rupara National Park

With more than 400 species recorded, Nkasa Rupara National Park (formerly Mamili National Park) forms part of Namibia’s best birding area. The year-round marshes here create habitat for a large variety of species, and migrants are abundant in the wet summer months, from November to April. Some interesting species to look out for are breeding pairs of wattled cranes, Denham’s bustard, coppery-tailed coucal and rosy-throated longclaw.

Best Time for Bird Watching

Bird watching in Nkasa Rupara is excellent throughout the year but at its prime during the Wet season (November to April), with the coming of summer migrants. However, at this time, the majority of the park often floods and becomes virtually impassable. A visit during the Dry season (May to October) is more practical and better for general wildlife viewing.
