Den Vor- und Nachmittag verbringen Sie damit, den Park zu erkunden, immer auf der Suche nach den wilden Tieren Namibias. Der Etosha-Nationalpark beherbergt mehr als 110 Säugetiere, darunter Elefanten, Breit- und Spitzmaulnashörner, Löwen, Leoparden, Hyänen, mehrere kleinere Raubtiere, Giraffen, Zebras und unzählige Antilopen. Außerdem kommen hier mehr als 340 verschiedene Vogelarten vor. Während der heißen Mittagszeit können Sie sich im Rastlager entspannen oder zu Ihrer Unterkunft zurückkehren.

A stop at the Pan’s edge is as recommendable as exploring the different waterholes in the area. Especially during the dry season, which is from May to November/December, large herds of game gather at the waterholes to quench their thirst. In the visitor’s books at the restcamp receptions one can sometimes find hints about interesting sightings of rather rare species like leopards and predator kills.

Depending on the season one should focus on the central parts of the Etosha National Park around Okaukuejo or the eastern area around Namutoni, as the larger herds and with them the predators move between the areas during the course of the year.
