3 DAYS ETOSHA WILDLIFE SAFARI (Camping)

The massive Etosha National Park is located in northwestern Namibia, in the country’s Kunene region.

Travelers planning on visiting Etosha in the winter months have one less thing to worry about: the park is entirely malaria-free during the dry season, when mosquitos are unable to breed. However, in the wetter months from November to June, travelers are encouraged to take anti-malaria medication. The risk of contracting malaria in Etosha, though, is incredibly slim.

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 thebest place in Africa to see black rhinos!

The largest salt pan in Africa, the Etosha Pan is a dry lakebed that can be seen from space. Believed to have been formed 100 million years ago, some of the park’s wildlife use the pan as a salt lick in the dry season, and migrating flamingos flock to the area during particularly rainy wet seasons.

Binoculars Are An Etosha Game-Viewing Essential: The best game-viewing happens with the help of high-quality binoculars.

Sleeping on top a car gives you an added sense of security in the wilderness. Generally speaking, camping is safe, even on the non-fenced campsites. Most animals do not perceive tents as tents with people inside, but interpret them as large animals or objects, hence an attack is very unlikely.
