Detailed itinerary

Depart at 07:00 for your 5 hour drive to Etosha. Head north towards Okahandja, a very important location for the OvaHerero tribe of Namibia. You will leave Okahandja and on your way towards Otjiwarongo you will see the Omatako mountains, two tall peaks on your left. They are quite magnificent, both standing at over 2,000m above sea level. From Otjiwarongo you head to Outjo, the gateway to Etosha, established by German colonial authorities as a military outpost responsible for the North-Western parts of Namibia. From Outjo it is approximately 100km to Etosha Trading post, where you will have the chance to stretch your legs, before finally arriving at your accommodation. Enjoy lunch (on own account) followed by an hour at leisure. At 14:00 the afternoon guided Half-Day Excursion to the Etosha National Park will start at reception. Duration of the tour is 5-6 hours. Be sure to pack sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, binoculars, and your camera. Explore the National Park and its amazing wildlife in a 24-seater game vehicle. Refreshments, entrance fees to the National Park and passenger liability insurance are included. After the game drive, dinner will be ready.

Explore the National Park and its amazing wildlife in a 24- seater game vehicle. Refreshments, snacks, entrance fees to the National Park and passenger liability insurance are included.

The day is devoted to open vehicle game drives in search of the abundant wildlife found in the Etosha National Park, which surrounds a parched salt desert known as the Etosha Pan. The park is home to 4 of the Big Five - elephant, lion, leopard and rhino. The Park was proclaimed as Namibia’s first conservation area in 1907 by the then German Governor, von Lindequist. Despite the size of the Etosha National Park, only the southern edge of the pan is accessible to visitors. Game viewing in the park is largely focussed around the waterholes, some of which are spring fed and some supplied from a borehole, ideal places to sit and watch over 114 different game species, or for an avid birder, in excess of 340 bird species. Popular game species such as giraffe, blue wildebeest, plains and mountain zebra, hyena, lion, leopard, antelopes such as kudu, oryx, eland, as well as some of the endangered species such as black rhino, cheetah and the black-faced impala are all found here.
