    From Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, take the B1 highway north towards Otjiwarongo. After approximately 250 kilometers, turn onto the C38 road towards Tsumeb. Continue on the C38 for about 100 kilometers until you reach Tsumeb. From Tsumeb, take the B1 north until you reach the junction with the D3000 road. Turn onto the D3000 and follow it for about 100 kilometers. You will then arrive at the entrance to Khaudum National Park. Note that a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended due to the condition of the roads within and leading to the park.

Once in Tsumeb, you will need to hire a taxi or arrange a shuttle service to take you to Khaudum National Park.
