The Etosha Safari is a 3 day / 2 night camping safari, to one of Namibia's main tourist attractions, Etosha National Park. This particular tour is one of the most time effective ways to see one of the country's most famous parks. Measuring over 22,000kmē, it is home to 114 species of mammals and 340 species of bird life. Etosha is one of Africa's largest and most impressive game parks. The versatility of this trip, enables it to be extended by combining it with either the 3 day Sossusvlei Safari, or the 7 day Southern Namibia Safari, to encompass even more of the highlights of Namibia.

Day 1: Windhoek - Okaukuejo

Safari travellers will be collected from their Windhoek accommodation between 08h00 and 09h00. There is a long drive north (550km), passing through mainly farmland, with refreshment stops at small towns along the way. Arrival time in Etosha National Park is expected to be in the middle of the afternoon. There have been a number of interpretations of the name Etosha over the years, and one description is 'The Place of Emptiness,' referring to the vast saltpan.
On entering the park, there is a game drive through to the Okaukuejo Camp, and after checking in at reception, the overnight camp will be set up. Okaukuejo is famous for its waterhole, which has correctly been described as 'one of the best game viewing opportunities in Southern Africa.' An original meaning of Okaukuejo is 'the woman who has a child every year,' or a prolific woman.
After the evening meal the opportunities to view some of Etosha's big game continue at the floodlit waterhole, conveniently situated on the boundary of the camp and easily reachable on foot. Black rhino, elephant, lion and numerous species of antelope are frequent visitors.)
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Camping: Okaukuejo

Day 2: Etosha Park

A full day's game driving, leaving the dwarf shrub (Salsosa)savannah around Okaukuejo, and skirting along the rim of the pan, visiting a wide selection of waterholes en-route. The game viewing is usually excellent, plains game such as zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, springbok, impala and eland can be found in large numbers. This attracts the predators, so be on the lookout with camera's and binoculars at the ready. Herds of 50 elephants or more are not unusual, and often walk right down the middle of the road, offering excellent photographic opportunities. There is a scheduled stop at Halali Camp for a leisurely lunch, with time to visit the waterhole and cool off from the hot, afternoon sun in the pool. Refreshments can be purchased at the bar before the journey continues to the eastern side of the park ,and on to the overnight stop at Namutoni Camp. The second leg of the journey also offers great game viewing along the waterholes in and around Etosha Pan.

A long drive back to Windhoek, but not before one last game drive on the way out of the park. The return journey is on the main roads, passing through towns and rural areas en-route, with a final stop in the small town of Okahandja, the home of Namibia's largest woodcarvers market.
