Etosha National Park is one of Africa's most iconic wildlife destinations, and embarking on a safari here is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Prepare to be captivated by the untamed beauty of the African savannah and the diverse array of wildlife that calls this park home.

Etosha is renowned for its abundant wildlife, including majestic elephants, graceful giraffes, powerful lions, and elusive leopards. As you traverse the vast plains and network of waterholes, you'll have incredible opportunities to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

From the iconic Etosha Pan, a vast salt pan that stretches as far as the eye can see, to the picturesque Mopane woodlands and the numerous waterholes teeming with life, each moment will leave you in awe.

There are two ways to do this experience — guided and self-safari. We recommend to do both. First, drive in your own vehicle and try your luck finding majestic animals in their natural habitats and around established waterholes (check the links section for the official park map or ask at your hotel). These encounters are magical and best experienced alone.

Second, go with a professional guide. All curated stays in Etosha region feature amazing tour options at any time of the day. Guided game drives significantly increase your chances of spotting the incredible diversity of Etosha's wildlife. With expert guides you'll also gain valuable insights into the park's ecosystems, animal behavior, and conservation efforts.

Prepare to be immersed in the wonders of nature and embark on a journey that will leave you with a deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
