Day 1 & 2
Etosha National Park App. 5 – 6 Hours Drive On Tar Road
After your arrival at an invariably sunny Hosea Kutako Airport, you collect your luggage and are met by your guide / our representative. We recommend early arrival before 11h00, in order to allow sufficient time to your first destination.
The Etosha Experience: Africa’s largest salt pan forms the centerpiece to Namibia’s largest protected wildlife reserve. A chain of natural springs have become the catalyst for the daily species interaction which has thrilled and fascinated visitors since 1907. The park is justifiably famed for the wealth of wildlife that congregate at its dozens of waterholes, offering ample reward for those who are patient. Plains game such as zebra, kudu, oryx, wildebeest, giraffe, springbok, impala and eland abound in great numbers on the grasslands while large herds of elephants are common.
Lions dominate the predator food chain and make good use of the waterholes as hunting grounds whilst he black-backed jackal trot around oblivious to humans. This is the place to watch Namibia’s greatest daily wildlife dramas unfold.

This apparently unforgiving landscape is actually refuge to a diverse number of plant and mammal species.
Desert elephant and black rhino share boulder strewn valleys with watchful cheetah and thundering herds of oryx. Your days here are spent exploring the area on foot and in open game drive vehicles with the exceptionally knowledgeable guides. PM Activity optional
