Etosha Activities

It’ll came as no surprise that the primary activity in Etosha National Park is wildlife watching – either on game drives or sitting round the watering holes. You’ll find that the best time to spot lion, elephant and rhino is at first light or late evening. And during the heat of the day, when wildlife activity is at its lowest, we suggest taking a cooling dip in the swimming pool of your camp or lodge.

Etosha Food & Drink

As part of your luxury safari experience in Etosha National Park you’ll find that all meals are included in the price of your stay – which camp or lodge you choose will determine the type of cuisine you are served up. You’re likely to dine al fresco with boma dinners underneath the stars or round a traditional braai (BBQ) both popular options.

Etosha Attractions

The biggest draw-card for both the wildlife and visitors to Etosha National Park are the watering holes. Game – sometimes in big numbers – gather round these sources of water; one of the most popular and well-known is Okaukuejo, which is lit by floodlights in the evening – be sure to grab your spot on one of the benches!
