The unfenced park forms a trans-boundary link for wildlife migration between Angola, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia.

[2] Nkasa Rupara is part of the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KaZa TFCA).

[1] Nkasa Rupara National Park contains Namibia’s most extensive wetlands, marshes and seasonally inundated areas.

[1] Nkasa Rupara is found in the broadleaved tree and wood savanna biome; vegetation type is Caprivi floodplains.

[1][2] Nkasa Rupara forms a corridor for all large mammal species moving between Namibia and Botswana, particularly African elephant and buffalo.

Mammals of this park as well as reptiles feature elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, spotted hyenas, African wild dogs, roan antelopes, impala, kudus, warthogs, baboons, spotted-necked otters, rock monitor lizards and water monitor lizards.

[5] Several rare, vulnerable and endangered species are found here, such as wattled crane, Pel’s fishing-owl, black-cheeked lovebird and yellow-billed oxpecker.

They are important for the park’s ecology, regulating the dominance of tall grass stands and keeping woody plants at bay.

[4] Park fees must be either pre-paid at the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) offices in Katima Mulilo, Windhoek or upon arrival.

The Nkasa Lupala tented lodge was built recently as part of a tourism concession granted by the Namibian Government.

Nkasa Rupara is situated in the centre of the KaZa TFCA and forms a corridor for elephant, buffalo, roan and sable antelope movement from Botswana into Angola and Zambia.

Stakeholders work together on law enforcement and anti-poaching, fire management (early burning), game monitoring and wildlife translocations.

Staff of Namibia’s Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) carry out patrols, monitor and count game and control poaching.

NamParks Project and the MET funded a new bridge to improve access to the park and have bought vehicles and equipment for patrols.
