The drive to Etosha will take about 4 to 5 hours, but it is a fantastic way to get to know the “lie of the land†here in Namibia. We will pass through Okahandja before passing close to both Okonjima Nature Reserve and the Waterberg Plateau National Park. The next town we go through will be Otjiwarongo, one of the fastest growing towns in Namibia and home to a large population of German-speaking people. Next up is Outjo in the Kunene region of Namibia.
We will make a few stops along the way to stretch our legs and have a bite to eat. We will reach our lodge just outside the Andersson gate in the afternoon, and if there is time we will go for a short game drive inside the park.

We will explore the southwestern side of world famous Etosha park today, going for a morning drive after breakfast and returning to our lodge for lunch and a break in the heat of the day.
We will return to the lodge after our afternoon game drive to enjoy dinner. Remember to look up before settling into your bed tonight – the African night sky, undisturbed by city lights out here in the bush, is truly amazing.

Etosha National Park in northern Namibia offers you the chance to spot game in a wonderful natural setting. Enjoy a fascinating African wildlife adventure in Namibia in search of wildlife like megaherbivores such as giraffe, elephant black and white rhino as well as predators like lion, cheetah and leopard.
Travel from waterhole to waterhole and observe as herds of elephants slowly make their way towards the waterhole right in front of you. One elephant first checks out if the waterhole is safe, then the whole herd, with babies in tow, follows. You may see them putting their trunks in the muddy water and spraying themselves until they look white.
The park itself covers 22,270 kms², and gets its name from the salt pan that makes up approx. 23% of the park. Once a massive lake, the Etosha Pan is now mostly dry, with the exception of good rainfall years when the pan fills up enough to become a breeding ground for flamingos that migrate between Walvis Bay and Sua Pan in Botswana
Etosha is home to 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, a variety of reptiles and even 1 species of fish. The game viewing is diverse and due to the dry nature of the region it is not uncommon to spot multiple species (including both predators and prey) hanging around the same waterhole.

Day 3:
Etosha to Eastern Etosha
We have another full day to enjoy Etosha today, but we will also slowly make our way to the eastern side of the park, where we will overnight today. We will stop at Halali camp in the middle of the park for lunch.
Your guide will decide, with your input as to your fauna and flora sighting preferences, what the best routes will be to follow. All our guides know Etosha intimately and will make sure you see all that this great African wildlife park has to offer.
Tonight we will be at another comfortable lodge just outside the park’s Von Lindequist gate in the east, where we will sit around a fire after dinner, chat about the day’s sightings and enjoy another spectacular African night sky.

We will enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in Etosha’s game-rich eastern section today, returning to our lodge in the heat of the day for lunch and to relax.

After another fantastic day in the park, we will return to our lodge and freshen up. We will then enjoy dinner and a good night’s rest. Tomorrow we are off to the Caprivi!

heading for the Caprivi, one of Namibia’s (and southern Africa’s) hidden secrets. The Caprivi with its lush green woodlands and big wide rivers is completely different from what we have experienced in Etosha, and wonderful adventure awaits!
It is a long drive for us today to get to the western side of the Caprivi, but it will be worth it. Our lodge is situated on the banks of the mighty Okavango river, with stunning views.

After breakfast this morning we will do a mixture of game drives in Bwabwata and Mahango National Parks. We will enjoy lunch at the lodge and either enjoy some downtime or head back into the Park.
Late afternoon we will join the lodge for a dinner cruise on the Okavango River. We will depart at 17h30 and after cruising for a short while we will stop on an island and enjoy sundowner drinks and snacks around a bonfire. Our view of the Bwabwata National Park on the opposite bank of the river will be the perfect vantage point from where we can watch wildlife drinking while we enjoy the beautiful sunset with a drink in hand. After enjoying our drink we will board our boat again and slowly cruise back to the lodge while we enjoy our dinner on the Okavango River. A truly magical experience!

A great game viewing adventure
The Park has an abundance of wildlife, but due to its remoteness and tropical climate it is rarely visited by tourists. Additionally the park is situated in acute malaria area thus the use of a prophylaxis is advisable when visiting. To get to the Park visitors have to travel along the Trans-Caprivi-Highway to Kongola and from there drive to the south.
The southern part of the Park has a lot of water. Here elephants, zebras, antelopes, buffalos and Hippos and crocodiles can be seen as well as more than 400 different species of birds.

Chobe - Vic Falls
After breakfast and a final activity you will cross into Zimbabwe, the third and final country on this fantastic safari.
It is a short drive of about 80 km from Kasane to Victoria Falls, and remember to keep an eye out for wildlife as this road is famous for some incredible roadside sightings.
After arriving in the town of Victoria Falls you have the option of going straight to the falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “The Smoke that Thunders†(the falls visit is an optional extra). It is the largest waterfall in the world by volume, A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. However, no amount of cold facts can prepare you for the sight of the unfathomably vast and powerful falls. It truly is majestic, and a must-see for adventure and wildlife travellers from all over the globe.
After settling into your lodge, you will have the afternoon open for relaxing, shopping at one of the curio markets, or any of the following additional (optional) activities:
• Helicopter flights over the falls and surrounding area (highly recommended)
• Bungee jumping
• Sundowner boat cruise on the Zambezi river
• Half-day birding trip around town and the falls
Dinner tonight is for your own account, but we can gladly assist in suggesting one of the many excellent hotel restaurants in town.
