Morning Game Drive In Etosha National Park

Known locally as ‘the great white place’ and famous for the sheer numbers of animals that congregate around the numerous waterholes, Etosha National Park is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and despite the dry conditions, also for ornithologists. For such a dry and parched land, the amount of animals found here often surprises and it’s not uncommon to witness predators and their prey lazing by the same waterhole in an apparent truce in an effort to quench their thirst. Common sightings include predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, as well as black & white rhino and the lesser well known, but equally fascinating black-faced impala (endemic to Etosha) and Damara dik dik, the smallest antelope in Africa.

A morning game driving starts at sunrise and takes us from waterhole to waterhole in search of everything from plains game, to predators, to megaherbivores, birds and reptiles. Stops will be made a picnic and campsites for a chance to stretch the legs between sightings before returning to our camp mid morning.
