Overview – Sioma Ngwezi National Park
Sioma Ngwezi National Park is mainly covered by Kalahari woodland. The Park has been heavily poached, but the situation is improving and wildlife is recovering. As an example elephants are returning to the Park, seen at the southeast border where elephants have re-established an old migration route, now very visible with several tracks in a corridor extending over more than one kilometre.
