This safari visits the famous Etosha National Park in northern Namibia. Measuring over 22,000 square kilometres, and home to hundreds of species, Etosha Game Reserve is one of Africa's largest and most impressive game parks. This safari is an excellent opportunity to view the magnificent wildlife within the Etosha park. Accommodation is at a minimum of 2 of the national park camps (Okaukuejo, Namutoni or Halali) depending on bookings during the busy season, we also try to follow animal migration routes whenever feasibly possible.
Etosha National Park, renowned as one of the best game reserves in Africa, is a haven for wildlife and supports one of the most important ecological and wildlife systems on the continent. At 22,270 km sq this huge park hosts an impressive collection of game 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 bird - enough to keep any nature and wildlife enthusiast happy.
