Etosha National Park

Etosha is a unique safari location in the heart of Namibia. The 1,900 square-mile Etosha salt pan is vast and extremely flat, creating an otherworldly landscape and one-of-a-kind location for spotting wildlife.

Why Etosha?
Etosha changes with the seasons. The rains that fall from December to March fill the Etosha pan with life-giving water, drawing huge flocks of flamingos and pelicans while zebra, kudu and elephant thrive in the abundant surrounding vegetation. During the dry season, animals gather around a handful of permanent waterholes.

This visually stunning region is accessible either by flying in via bush plane or driving with a safari vehicle if you prefer an overland journey. We can arrange your stay on a nearby private reserve or within Etosha National Park – providing exclusive access for watching elephant, lion, giraffe and even black rhino.
  • An expansive national park with a great variety of wildlife.
  • The huge salt pan is a distinct feature of Namibia’s landscapes.
  • See black rhino at night at a floodlit waterhole.
  • Sizable herds of elephant and antelope, as well as big cats.
  • Large flocks of great white pelicans and flamingos during the rainy season.
  • Stay on a private reserve or in Etosha National Park.
