Leaving our backpacker lodge in Windhoek behind, we set out early on this budget Etosha Lodge Safari. Heading north to Etosha Park, we pause along the way at Otjiwarongo for lunch, before we enter Etosha National Park. Accessing the park via the Anderson Gate, we embark on the first of our game drives to some nearby waterholes. We are searching for zebra, giraffe, elephant and rhino, but most especially we are looking for predators. Our first night is spent inside Etosha Park in twin rooms. We arrive just before sunset at Halali Camp where we take advantage of the floodlit waterhole, where guests can watch wildlife come to drink during the evening. There’s even the chance of spotting some of the more elusive nocturnal creatures.

We get an early start, setting out before sunrise, and head back into Etosha National Park on an early morning game drive. This is the best time for game viewing as the animals are at their most active. We stop mid-morning at Etosha Pan, Namibia’s largest salt pan, for a light breakfast. Guests should walk out onto the flat pan to experience the immenseness of this 4500 sq km saltpan, noting that this is a seasonal experience. Traveling back to Halali Camp we visit numerous waterholes along the way, searching for lion, rhino, leopard and elephant, as well as the abundant plains game found in this wilderness area we continue to Okaukuejo Camp. En-route we stop at a waterhole to watch a spectacular African sunset over the bush.
