The biggest draw card is to go for game drives into the park. We take you in our game viewing vehicle which gives you added height for easy game spotting.Etosha is a wildlife sanctuary and you are bound to come back to camp with many stories to tell around the campfire in the evening.So sit back, relax and let us do the driving for you. We offer full-day game drives that include water.

Had the pleasure of viewing the waterhole for 2 mornings and 2 nights, with the added bonus of residing at the delightful waterhole chalets just a few metres away. Got to keep in perspective that this was our first self drive experience, so we didn’t want to hog all our time here and not travel through the park. We just kept viewings before brekkie and after dinner, with the rest of our time spent in the park. We saw many people fixated with the waterhole, but there are great opportunities to be had with the use of personal energy and desire to get what you came for in the first instance, but we understand the luxury of animals arriving while you sit back and take a pew. The area consists of lots of seating, lots of people and lots of silence. But the more people present then silence seems to become more difficult even if it does benefit the welcoming of animals. Though visiting January low season, we still managed to see many elephants, black rhino’s, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs and various types of antelope. A great experience especially when you have nowhere to go once the gates are shut for the night, and when gates are open during daytime then entrance looks relaxed even for those not actually staying at Okaukuejo...

Having the good fortune to have visited a number of game parks throughout a number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa, we were pleased to discover how unique Etosha is! The park is incredibly vast and comprised of 21 different vegetation regions. Wildlife abounds, even in rainy season (despite what some people seem to think/say on here--b/c the animals may not just come to the waterholes as readily as they do in the dry season, and instead one must actually go looking for them), and we saw so much. We spent three days and nights in the park and self-drove most of the time from sunup to sundown. Lunch breaks in the camps sometimes, but we were mostly out and about in the park. There are plenty of picnic spots and toilets, which makes it easy to be away from camp, and the camps are pretty adqueate overall. Our favorite was definitely Namutoni, though our favorite waterhole was Moringa. I always love how people say what they DIDN'T SEE while on safari (e.g., "saw eles, but no leopards), as if a) there was some expectation to see anything at all, and b) whatever was seen wasn't good enough b/c, well, "there were no leopards." Wildlife is wild, and if you're going on safari to specifically see, say, lions (as that's THE number one animal people talk about, ask about, etc.), I really think you'd be better off going to a big cat sanctuary. Otherwise, isn't it cool enough to "only" see elephants in the wild? Or rhinos? Or giraffes, ostrich, gemsbok? I guess seeing as how I don't live in a game park (although I currently live in Rwanda and go to Rwanda's game park about once a month), seeing any wild African animals is a treat, but maybe other people live in game parks and are by now jaded? Anyway, Etosha is awesome. We had the best "luck" in the east, loved camping the most at Namutoni, enjoyed the Moringa and Chudop waterholes the best, and would be thrilled to go back someday. In addition to more than 50 bird species (yes, I'm a nerd and keep track), we also saw three mongoose species, giraffes, zeebs, elephants, kudu, black-faced impala (which are endemic to Namibia), steenbok, gemsbok, wildebeest, warthogs, hyenas and jackals galore, six black rhino, and two leopards, including one we had all to ourselves for a good ten minutes! Pretty special place that is absolutely worth the pretty minimal entry fee (at least compared to the entry fees for game reserves in East Africa), and at the very least a night and a full day so that you can get in a good morning and evening game drive.
