Detailed Itinerary

Pick up in the morning in Windhoek from any hotel & travelling 450 km north, to one of the most magnificent national parks of Africa, treasure of Namibia – Etosha National Park! You will be immediately surrounded by the African Savannah and rich, abundant wildlife. Time spent at the waterhole is a meditation of nature! Observing elephants, lions, giraffes, antelopes, rhinos, jackals, hyenas and zebras coming for a drink of water. 


The abundance of game in Etosha National Park is somewhat unexpected, showcasing some of the most common and rarest wildlife species. The areas with thicker vegetation are home to elephant (some of the largest in Africa due to the vitamins and nutrients found in the ground), the endangered black rhino and even leopard. Lions are camouflaged in the pale-golden colour of the grasslands, while giraffes rise-high above most of the dry vegetation.

Birders will love the rainy season in Etosha. After good rains the salt pan fills with water attracting a cloud of flamingos. More than 340 bird species have been counted in Etosha National Park. Among the migratory species, the European bee-eater is possibly the most popular sighting. The game reserve is also home to the world’s largest bird, the ostrich, and the heaviest flying bird, the kori bustard.
