Tour code CHNAM01 Operates Duration Routing Includes Excludes Notes Accommodation |
Etosha National Park is renowned as one of the best game reserves in Africa, and is a haven for wildlife and supports one of the most important ecological and wildlife systems on the continent. At 22,270 km² this huge park hosts an impressive collection of wildlife including the white rhino and endangered black rhino, lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, giraffe and numerous species of antelope as well as an impressive 340 species of birds - enough to keep any nature and wildlife enthusiast happy.
The lodges used are located within 25km of the Anderson gate on the western side of Etosha National Park. This safari does not visit Namutoni Camp at all as it is closed to non-resident visitors or on payment of a very high daily fee, which has not been included in the cost of this safari.

We depart from Windhoek at mid-day (12.00 in winter, 13.00 in summer). We stop briefly at Otjiwarongo then arrive at our lodge just before sunset outside the gates of Etosha National Park. Dinner is prepared by your guide and an early night is recommended.
Overnight: Camp, Etosha area. (D)
Day 2 - Wednesday:
We depart from our lodge at sunrise to be the first at the gate to the park and game drive until mid morning when we will stop for a light breakfast. We visit many waterholes and drive half way across the park in our quest to find the big 4 as well as all the plains game arriving at Halali for a rest during the hottest part of the day. Here, your guide will prepare you a delicious lunch whilst you have a dip in the pool or relax by the camp waterhole. Continuing after lunch you will visit the mighty Etosha Pan and have the experience of walking on the pan to feel the immenseness of this 4500 km² saltpan (seasonal). We will then continue back to Okaukuejo stopping at some well-known waterholes and leave the park prior to sunset. Dinner is prepared by your guide and another early night is recommended.
