Today is devoted to game viewing in your guide's vehicle in the famous Etosha National Park, which surrounds an enormous salt pan that is the size of the Netherlands.
As you will have your own driver/guide, you have the flexibility of discussing preferred routings and travelling times with him each day, with picnic lunch included. However we recommend setting off early each morning as soon as the park gates open after sunrise, to take advantage of the best game viewing conditions of the day, with all game drives taken in his vehicle.
The vast Etosha Pan offers magnificent game viewing opportunities - including springbok, oryx, black-faced impala, roan, cheetah and the Damara dik-dik, Namibia’s smallest antelope. A series of waterholes throughout the park guarantees rewarding game viewing, with Etosha being renowned for its vast array of plains game and its 'great cats' which are more easily seen on the open pans.
With over 100 different species of mammals and reptiles in this park, you can hope to see lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, kudu, sable antelope, warthogs, baboons and many other interesting animals. Etosha is also a bird watchers paradise, with hundreds of recorded bird species and many migrants during the summer months.
In the evening enjoy a beautiful African sunset and the pristine stars of the Milky Way as you have never seen them before – including the spectacular Southern Cross.
Note: Vehicles are not allowed to drive off-road in any national park in Namibia. If you are tall and wish to remain seated in your wheelchair inside your accessible vehicle for your game drives, please be aware there may be some restrictions on your viewing due to the height of the windows. There are no restrictions if you transfer into one of the regular seats.
