DISCOVER NAMIBIA

Clients are collected at Windhoek airport and transferred to their hotel. 

Departing Windhoek we travel north stopping at the large open air market of Okahandja with its many local wood carvings. Mid afternoon we arrive to our lodge on the edge of Etosha National Park. 

The park’s main characteristic is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. Yet there is abundant wildlife that congregates around the waterholes.

This Park is one of the most important reserves and game sanctuaries in Africa with thousands of wild animals such as blue wildebeest, springbok, zebra, kudu, giraffe, cheetah, leopard, lion and elephant making this area their home.

Late afternoon of arrival we enjoy a sundowner drive from the lodge.  

Day 3 we enjoy a morning and an afternoon 4x4 game drives inside the Eastern sector of the Park. We explore the many waterholes in the Eastern sector of the Park.

We depart after breakfast and enter Etosha National Park. We spend the full day on game drive across the park in the Kiboko Overland vehicle. We travel via Halali Restcamp and stop at the famous Etosha Pan.

Enjoy the floodlit Waterhole around the camp in the evening. 

We travel south through Damaraland to our lodge huddled in the rocks, with sweeping views across the Aba Huab valley.
