3 Days Namibia Camping Safari

Your adventure starts when the guide picks you up from the hotel between 08:00 and 08:30. You shall depart the city via the B1 to the north, embarking on an adventure to the world famous Etosha National Park. You will have a long drive today. On the way, you will stop in Otjiwarongo to fill up with petrol and get provisions. You will have a picnic lunch along the way.

You will reach your destination after entering western Etosha through the Anderson Gate and arriving in Okaukuejo. After settling into your rooms in the afternoon, you will have time to explore the surroundings and enjoy the swimming pool before a late afternoon game drive. After dinner, a visit to the floodlit waterhole is strongly recommended as there is a good chance of seeing rhinos and lions.

Today, you will spend most of the day game driving. You will visit a number of waterholes and make a stop at the Etosha Pan, the “place of dry water.” The Pan is an extensive flat depression of about 5,000 square kilometers. This great white expanse is a place of shimmering mirages. Seeing large herds of game in this setting makes Etosha a unique experience in Namibia and Africa. You may stop at Halali middle camp to have lunch before you continue the game drive to Namutoni.

You will have time to relax in the swimming pool in Namutoni or at the waterhole before a late afternoon game drive. The game viewing is usually excellent with close views of springboks, zebras, impalas, giraffes, gemsboks, and plenty of birds. You may also have some close encounters with elephants and lions. In the evening, you may enjoy a glass of wine and experience a fabulous sunset from the tower of the old Namibian-German fort before dinner.

After morning safari game drive, you will have an opportunity to get some more pictures of Etosha’s wildlife. In the soft morning light, you will depart Etosha via the Von Lindequist Gate and head back to the city. You will travel on the main road (B1), making a short detour to Lake Otjikoto which was discovered in 1851 and is distinguished by its emerald-green waters.

Just before reaching Windhoek, you will stop in the small town of Okahandja and visit Namibia’s largest wood carving market. You are likely to arrive back in the city at around 16:30 and you will be dropped off at your accommodation.
