Etosha Big Five Safari - Image 1

Tour Overview

Etosha National Park is one of Africa's great wildlife reserves, centred on a massive salt pan visible from space. During the dry season, the floodlit waterholes around the pan become nature's greatest stage, attracting massive concentrations of elephants, lions, rhinos, and an extraordinary diversity of plains game. This safari explores Etosha from east to west, visiting the best waterholes where you can watch wildlife arrive at predictable times. The park is one of the best places in southern Africa to see endangered black rhino, and the photogenic white salt pan creates a unique and otherworldly backdrop for wildlife photography.
