Keep your camera ready as you capture these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Etosha is dotted with numerous waterholes that serve as natural oases in the vast wilderness. Sit quietly at the water’s edge, and be rewarded with the sight of a fascinating array of animals quenching their thirst - a spectacle you won’t want to miss.

Etosha’s diverse landscapes are a photographer’s dream. From shimmering salt pans that stretch as far as the eye can see to vast grasslands and mopane woodlands, each corner of the park offers breathtaking vistas that evoke a sense of awe. Etosha is a haven for bird enthusiasts, with over 340 bird species gracing its skies.

We offer you time to observe the animals! If you happen to be a photo enthusiast, bring along your equipment and patience to capture the unusual encounters of wildlife. You will be able to observe the groups of springboks, zebras, etc., but also the rarer species such as the black-faced impala (endemic to Namibia) or the dik-diks, the smallest African antelope. The interaction between the animals around the waterholes is often very magical in the Etosha, where you might just come across the path of a leopard or a group of lionesses hunting!

After a lunch break, it is in the animal park of Etosha that we will continue our day. You will discover abundant wildlife that you can observe on the "pan" or around the many water points of the reserve. Your guide will give you information on the species encountered.

This park is one of the largest game reserves in the world. Take full advantage of this moment to make sure that you make the most out of this safari and do not forget your binoculars too long: we never tire of scanning the horizon for having flushed a cat under an acacia or a troop of elephants strolling nonchalantly through the huge Salt Lake that gave his name at the park.
