DAY 2: OTJIWARONGWE TO ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast we head north to Etosha National Park, “the great white place of dry water”, which offers a variety of wildlife. Our 2 nights in Etosha will be either at Okaukuejo or Halali (subject to animal movements), where a floodlit waterhole allows for 24-hour game viewing. Elephant and black rhinoceros are seen daily during the dry winter months and numerous other game species are also found here.

(Lunch can be enjoyed at a coffee shop in the town of Outjo and dinner can be enjoyed at the restaurant in the National Park.)

DAY 3: ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK GAME DRIVE

We undertake an early morning and later afternoon game drives through the park as we gaze in awe at the vast expanse of the Etosha Pan, itself shimmering in the midday heat. Ostrich appear like moving black dots as they wander around miles out on the salt pan. The afternoon we have time to relax at the swimming pool or view animals drinking water at the campsite’s waterhole.
