Day 1
Windhoek – Etosha National ParkYou will be collected from your guesthouse/hotels as 07:15 drive to Etosha National Park through the Anderson Gate. We enjoy an afternoon game drive through the park visiting waterholes looking for predators as well as zebra, giraffe, elephant, rhino and many different species of antelope. We arrive at our lodge just before sunset and settle into our rooms, with en-suite bathroom and tea/coffee facilities. We highly recommend spending time at the floodlit waterhole while dinner is prepared by your guide over an open fire and an early night is recommended.
Day 2 We start our first game drive at sunrise to catch the predators while they are still active, visiting many waterholes and return to Halali for breakfast. Our second game drive midmorning takes us to the impressive Etosha Pan “great white place” where you can get out of the vehicle and experience this 4500 sq km
