3-Day Etosha Wildlife Express

• You'll be collected from the airport.
• Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.

Windhoek to Etosha National Park

You will be collected from your accommodation within the Windhoek city limits or the airport at 7:00 am and transferred to Chameleon HQ for a short pre-departure meeting. Heading north from Windhoek, you'll stop briefly at the small town of Otjiwarongo to gather some last-minute supplies before continuing to Etosha. You'll enjoy a light lunch pack whilst “on the move”. You'll enter Etosha National Park and enjoy a game drive on your way to your overnight accommodation at Halali Camp. Etosha is huge, just over 22,000 square km, and is home to 114 species of mammals, 350 bird species, 110 species of reptiles, insects, and, somewhat bizarrely, one species of fish. There are good chances of spotting many of these different creatures as you tour through the park, stopping at the various waterholes along the way.
The ‘game show’ in Etosha doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. All the Etosha camps have floodlit waterholes for extra wildlife viewing opportunities.

Driving time: ~5 1/2 hours.

Etosha National Park

You have the whole day to explore Etosha so you'll make the most of it. The park gates open at sunrise and we aim to be on our way just as the sun breaches the horizon. Early morning is usually a productive time for wildlife viewing and first thing in the morning is a good time to catch big cats returning from the hunt.
You'll return to Halali for breakfast and load your vehicle before heading out into the park once again in search of the big game. Etosha is a desert landscape and water is the most scarce natural resource.
On your way today, you will stop to have a closer look at the Etosha Pan. You'll exit Etosha at the Anderson gate close to sunset and it is just a short drive to your accommodation in a comfortable spacious twin share room with modern en-suite bathroom facilities. An ideal space to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. A fantastic dinner is prepared by your guide this evening.

Etosha National Park to Swakopmund

After breakfast, we aim to be on the road by 7:30 am today. You are heading for the Skeleton Coast and taking the scenic route. You'll first head south on the main road, passing the small town of Outjo, then onwards towards the west and picking up the gravel road as you travel through an area known as Damaraland.
You'll continue your journey west and soon arrive at the coast and the chilly Atlantic Ocean. The whole coastline of Namibia is known as the Skeleton Coast and it is easy to see why this barren seaboard is so named with its forbidding mountains and barren beaches.
You will be dropped off at your accommodation anywhere within the Swakopmund city limits or the airport. Swakopmund boasts some truly excellent restaurants and again your guide will be able to help you with recommendations and bookings.

Driving time: ~5 1/2 hours.
