The poor quality of the roads in Etosha certainly detracted from the enjoyment of the bush experience. The driver did not have the opportunity to view game, as he had to concentrate on careering on the very neglected roads in the park (even though we drive a 4x4). This needs to enjoy urgent attention from the parks authorities.

Etosha rates highly with me and was impressed with the rhino sightings. Only missed the leopard. Cannot put words to the feeling you get by "just being there"

Terrible
I am embarrassed for my country. The roads in Etosha are horrific and a utter disaster. What impression do we leave tourists, these roads will make you buy a new car.

I liked seeing the variety of animals. I was amazed at how close we were to the animals. The water holes provide an excellent opportunity to see many animals up close - they come to you rather than you to them.

Terrible ‘roads’; bit hit or miss what may turn up at the waterholes. Would have liked the guide to show more interest in the birds

Don't Miss Staying Up at the Waterholes
Visited Namibia and Etosha after spending a week in Kenya. While not as game rich or scenic as the parks in Kenya, Etosha certainly has a character in its own. Etosha is unique because of its sprawling dry landscape and its waterholes that attract huge of wildlife (including what I swear are the biggest elephants I’ve ever seen in my life.) Even better is if you stay in the park you can stay up all night at the waterhole in your campsite watching animals. The highlight was seeing three species high on my list but often rare to see: black rhinoceros, honey badger and cheetah. Species we saw:
African Elephant
Black Rhinoceros
White Rhinoceros
Cheetah
Angolan Giraffe
Plains Zebra
Blue Wildebeest
Springbok
Gemsbok
Greater Kudu
Impala
Red Hartebeest
Honey Badger
Black-Backed Jackal
Banded Mongoose
Steenbok
Bat (unsure of species)
Yellow-Billed Hornbill
Ostrich
Pied Crow
White-Backed Mousebird
Guinea Fowl
Egyptian Goose

Roads are the worse I've ever seen
I would like to know when last / if any maintenance was done to Etosha roads in the last couple of years.
Worse roads of all the game parks in Namibia.

Etosha is stunning. It has a great infrastructure but it is a pity that maintenance is apparently not a priority. Roads are poor compared to other parts of the country and the NWS accommodations could use a make over.

Very different from the Kruger Park but that was not a bad thing. Generally facilities were good.

More animals, different plants and great scenery
