Amazing wildlife opportunities abound in Etosha National Park where in many cases the animals come to us as we seek out the myriad of waterholes. We are looking for predators and prey alike, lion and leopard, elephant and giraffe, black rhino and eland are all in the mix of possible sightings, together with so many more species of mammal and birds that it is impossible to mention them all.
Departures on this 3-day and 2-night accommodated adventure are from Windhoek and it is a fantastic way to ‘’snapshot’’ three of Namibia’s greatest highlights. Amazing wildlife opportunities in Etosha NP. Beautiful Damaraland gives you a unique ‘’big sky’’ experience. Onwards, passing under the shadow of Namibia’s highest mountain, the Brandberg, you'll make your way down to the Atlantic Ocean. Reaching the wild and rugged Skeleton Coast, you'll follow the ocean road into the town of Swakopmund.

Day 1: Windhoek to Etosha National Park
You will be collected from your accommodation within the Windhoek city limits or the airport.. Heading north from Windhoek, we stop briefly at the small town of Otjiwarongo to gather some last-minute supplies before continuing to Etosha, and we enjoy a light lunch pack whilst “on the move”. We enter Etosha National Park and game drive our way to our overnight accommodation at Halali Camp. All visitors must be in camp by sunset, and we aim to arrive at our lodge at Halali just before sunset and with time to settle into our rooms, with en-suite bathroom and tea/coffee facilities.
*Not mandatory. Single travellers can be matched with another traveller of the same sex on a twin-share basis
Driving time: ~5 1/2 hours.
Dinner
Day 2: Etosha National Park
You have the whole day to explore Etosha so you'll make the most of it. The park gates open at sunrise and we aim to be on our way just as the sun breaches the horizon. Early morning is usually a productive time for wildlife viewing and first thing in the morning is a good time to catch big cats returning from the hunt.
You'll return to Halali for breakfast and load your vehicle before heading out into the park once again in search of the big game. Etosha is a desert landscape and water is the most scarce natural resource.
On your way today, you will stop to have a closer look at the Etosha Pan. You'll exit Etosha at the Anderson gate close to sunset and it is just a short drive to your accommodation in a comfortable spacious twin share room with modern en-suite bathroom facilities. An ideal space to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. A fantastic dinner is prepared by your guide this evening.

Day 3: Etosha National Park to Swakopmund
After breakfast, we aim to be on the road by 7:30 am today. You are heading for the Skeleton Coast and taking the scenic route. You'll first head south on the main road, passing the small town of Outjo, then onwards towards the west and picking up the gravel road as you travel through an area known as Damaraland.
You'll continue your journey west and soon arrive at the coast and the chilly Atlantic Ocean. The whole coastline of Namibia is known as the Skeleton Coast and it is easy to see why this barren seaboard is so named with its forbidding mountains and barren beaches.
You will be dropped off at your accommodation anywhere within the Swakopmund city limits or the airport. Swakopmund boasts some truly excellent restaurants and again your guide will be able to help you with recommendations and bookings.
