The wilderness of Etosha National Park in Namibia is one of the most unique safari areas on the African continent.
Guests are met at O R Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, from where they will be assisted with check-in to a flight bound for Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. Guests are met at Windhoek Airport and will be assisted in being transferred to their charter flight, bound for Etosha. Etosha National Park is a place of contrast, taking on a different complexion after heavy summer rains and attracting one of the most impressive flamingo migrations one is likely to see. The dry brittle vegetation turns a soft green, the animal calving season begins and for a few months the flat landscape that the Ovambo call the ‘place of great white spaces’, sheds its arid image. The late afternoon is devoted to a first open 4x4 safari in Etosha accompanied by an experienced ranger and tracker.
The day is devoted to early morning and late afternoon 4x4 safaris in the company of your experienced ranger and tracker. Due to the predictability of game concentrations, Etosha is not only one of the most popular parks in Southern Africa, but also has an exceptionally high proportion of predators to herbivores. This fact offers visitors an excellent chance of witnessing thrilling confrontations between lion and zebra, springbok, impala or wildebeest.
The day is once again devoted to exploring the area from the back of open 4x4 vehicles. Etosha National Park is widely regarded as one of the best game reserves in Africa to observe a startling diversity of animal and bird life at close quarters. Game viewing is excellent, as wildlife is forced to congregate around the park's waterholes for much of the year and there is little vegetation to obstruct one's view. This makes the area popular with photographers intent on capturing awesome wildlife images.
A last morning game drive is followed by a flight to Windhoek and from there an onward connection to Johannesburg. Guests will be met on arrival at O R Tambo International and transferred to any location of their choice in either Johannesburg or Pretoria after an unforgettable Etosha safari.
