Eastern Etosha National Park

Today is dedicated to a full day of game viewing with the lodge. Your local guide will take you on an exploration in an open game drive vehicle, providing a chance to see a wide variety of animals. If you're lucky, you might witness predators hunting their early morning prey, as they are only active during the early morning and late afternoon. You'll leave the park before sunset, as the gates close at that time. After returning, you'll have time to freshen up for dinner and enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure.
