Day 1-2
Etosha South
Etosha South
Your guide will pick you up either from the airport or you accommodation in Windhoek. We will drive straight to the southern part of Etosha National Park. We will embark on an afternoon game drive. Waterholes in this part of the park are further apart and are mainly artificial because it is relatively dry compared to the other parts. On the second day, we will do the morning and afternoon game drives. The game and birds found in this part of the park are typical of the savannah plains of southern Africa but include several species endemic to this western side of the continent, adjacent to the Namib Desert. The waterhole around the lodge is one of the most active ones at night. Watch herds of elephants, various antelopes and rhinos making turns to drink water in a hierarchical manner. The waterhole is accessible 24 hours.

Central Etosha
Central Etosha
We will have a relaxed morning, explore the southern Etosha once again before heading northeast to the central part. Vegetation will start changing from the open dwarf thorn bush to mopane woodlands. The central Etosha is hilly in a rather topographically flat area hence chances of encountering elusive species like leopards. Birds include Southern Pied and Bare-cheeked Babblers, Sociable Weaver, Crimson-breasted Shrike, Violet-eared Waxbill, Red-headed and Cut-throat Finches, Namaqua, Double-banded and Burchell’s Sandgrouse, Pygmy and Lanner Falcons, Pink-billed, Sabota and Spike-heeled Larks among other specials. We will have an afternoon game drive around the central Etosha. At our lodge, there is a waterhole accessible 24 hours.

Eastern Etosha National Park
Eastern Etosha National Park
An early morning start will allow us to further explore the central part before heading eastwards. Eastern Etosha has relatively higher rainfall, hence waterholes much closer to each other. In this part, one will get artesian, contact and water-level springs, implying abundance of wildlife. Mammals include Black and White Rhinoceros, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, African elephant, Plains Zebras, Southern Giraffe, Eland, Gemsbok, African Wild Cat, Spotted and Brown Hyena, specials include Damara Dik Dik and Black-faced Impalas among other animals. We will embark on a night drive on the first day in the eastern Etosha with hope of experiencing some nocturnal wildlife activities. We will then spend the following two days exploring the east and north of the park, the latter is not very far.
