A 420 km² national park established in 2008 in the Kavango West Region, 100km southwest of Rundu — one of Namibia’s newest parks, created specifically to protect a disease-free buffalo population of strategic importance to Namibia’s conservation and wildlife ranching programmes. Before becoming a park it was a breeding camp for black and white rhino. Wildlife today: buffalo, sable antelope, roan antelope, eland, tsessebe (all reintroduced), African wild dog, leopard, hyaena, giraffe, blue wildebeest, gemsbok and kudu. The Kalahari woodland and acacia savannah habitat is dominated by the Manketti (Mongongo) nut tree that gives the park its name. Community benefit-sharing is a core management principle.
