Rarely ever seen, a black rhino chomping on some food, facing the camera and sourrounded by dry shrubs.

Itinerary

Etosha East, Namibia

Located in Northwestern Namibia, Etosha East is a protected sanctuary in the eastern part of the world-renowned Etosha National Park, known as one of the most accessible game reserves in Southern Africa. Etosha East boasts vast open plains scattered with semi-arid savannah grasslands dotted with watering holes and secluded bush camps. An impressive 5000-square-kilometre Etosha salt pan makes up a large area of the eastern side of the park and can even be seen from space. This remote area teems with abundant wildlife such as lions, elephants, black rhinos and giraffes, as well as a variety of birdlife featuring flamingos, ostriches, eagles, hornbills, and owls.

Day Notes:

You will be collected from your accommodation within the Windhoek city limits or the airport at 07.00 am and transferred to Chameleon Headquarters for a short pre-departure meeting. Heading north from Windhoek, we stop briefly at the small town of Otjiwarongo to gather some last-minute supplies before continuing to Etosha, and we enjoy a light lunch pack whilst “on the move”. We enter Etosha National Park and game drive our way to our overnight accommodation at Halali Camp. All visitors must be in camp by sunset, and we aim to arrive at our lodge at Halali just before sunset and with time to settle into our rooms, with en-suite bathroom and tea/coffee facilities.

Day 2

Day Notes:

We have the whole day to explore Etosha, and we want to make the most of it. The park gates open at sunrise and after a quick cup of coffee and a snack we will aim to be on our way as the sun breaches the horizon. We head to the gate where we meet our local guide for today. We will explore Etosha with him and our guide on an open game viewer today. Early morning is usually a productive time for game viewing, and first thing in the morning is a good time to catch big cats returning from the hunt

Etosha is a desert landscape and water is the most scarce natural resource. There are however numerous waterholes here, both natural and man-made, and our game-driving technique is to take in as many as of these as possible. Here we hope that the game will come to us as the thirsty animals attend for a much-needed drink. We exit Etosha at the Anderson gate close to sunset and it is just a short drive to our accommodation in a comfortable spacious twin share room with modern en-suite bathroom facilities. An ideal space to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. A fantastic dinner is prepared by our guide this evening.
