This safari holiday takes place in Etosha National Park, Namibia.
Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park spans an area of 22,270 square kilometres (8,600 square miles). The Etosha pan, which covers an area of 4,769 square kilometres (1,840 square miles) is 23% of the total area of Etosha National Park.
The massive Etosha National Park is located in northwestern Namibia, in the country’s Kunene region.
Great news for travelers looking to make the most of their Etosha safari experience: the park is home to numerous watering holes—over 40! They make it much easier to spot animals who can otherwise be elusive. Okondeka is the best waterhole to spot lions, and Halali and Goas are known for leopard sightings. The Okaukuejo watering hole is known as the best place in Africa to see black rhinos!
Namibia
Located in southwestern Africa, Namibia boasts a well-developed infrastructure, some of the best tourist facilities in Africa, and an impressive list of breathtaking natural wonders. Visitors can explore the capital of Windhoek and discover the lovely coastal town of Swakopmund, which boasts remnants of the country’s German influence, reflected in the architecture, culture, cuisine, and the annual Oktoberfest celebrations.
To properly appreciate this extraordinary country, you will have to venture out of the cities to explore the remarkable natural landscapes Namibia has to offer. These include: the impressive Fish River Canyon; the vast Etosha National Park teeming with abundant wildlife, such as lions, desert-adapted elephants, and the Hartmann's Mountain Zebra; the hauntingly beautiful Kalahari Desert; and, of course, the Namib Desert stretching for over 2000 km along the magnificent Atlantic Coast.
Namibia is an ideal destination for travellers seeking an unforgettable African experience in a uniquely beautiful untamed wilderness.
