Mundulea Nature Reserve
It is named after a beautiful purple flowering bush (Mundulea sericea), favourite food of the Eland, and said to have medicinal and magical properties. Mundulea is situated two hours south of the Namutoni Gate of Etosha National Park and provides a refreshing change from long hours of driving punctuated by lodges and hotels.
Mundulea's dolomite and limestone mountains are millions of years old. They contain fathomless caves and potholes, deep gorges and underground lakes. Ancient Leadwood trees, Marulas, Wild Figs and White Syringa, which provide vast shade canopies, are just part of the wide variety of plants, trees and bushes found on the reserve. Game sightings include Eland, Kudu, Oryx, Hartebeest, Dik Dik, Steinbok, Duiker, Klipspringer and warthog. Among the predators, Leopard, Cheetah, Brown Hyena, Spotted Hyena, Jackal, Serval and Lynx are all present and have been sighted on several occasions during walks The peace and pace of the trail also affords superb opportunities for birding - some 260 species are found on the reserve.
We can meet you at the farm (by prior arrangement only) or can take you there from Swakopmund . In order to cater properly to your interests and needs, we would like to discuss the tour with you in detail, so please contact us directly via email to find out more and make plans. London

Mundulea
Nature Reserve in the Otavi Mountains is roughly 120 square kilometers
of prime Montane Bushveldt set in the unspoilt Karstveldt region south
east of Otavi. The Nature Reserve was established at the turn of this
century to protect and conserve the biodiversity of this very special
area.
We
suggest that you plan your visit towards the end of your holiday (perhaps
your last stop before heading back to Windhoek), when you will relish
the chance to get out of your vehicle and into the bush. Mundulea offers
you relaxed, expertly guided walking trails and environmental exploration.
It is a unique opportunity to see and learn first-hand how the eco-systems
which support Namibia's vast biodiversity of animals, birds, plants,
trees, reptiles and insects really work. 
Points
of interest are built into all walks, which are geared to the individual
requirements and abilities of our guests. In practice though, the highlights
are always the unexpected finds, the things that happen along the way
and the sheer unpredictability of the Namibian bush.
We spend each night at fully equipped tented camps, with nothing but
campfire chat and a delicious meal to distract you from the glories
of the bushveld night skies.
