Sit In Silence Around The Waterhole In Etosha And Sight Wildlife

browse (1 / 3)

Etosha National Park is undoubtedly one of Africa's finest parks, with over 5 000 square kilometres of some of the most unusual landscapes on earth, dominated by the Etosha Salt Pan, the remnant of a dried up lake thousands of years old. Sitting in silence around the waterhole in Etosha and sighting wildlife is at once a spiritual and a thrilling experience.

The salt-pan desert is home to innumerable species of African wildlife such as lion, rhino, giraffe and Black-Face Impala. During the summer months beginning in November, rains fall, bringing welcome relief to the dry, hot winter months. Sit in silence around the waterhole in Etosha and sight wildlife. Etosha National Park is home to 250 lions, more than 300 rhinos, including the endangered Black Rhino, 2 500 giraffes and 2 000 elephants.

During the rainy months pelicans and flamingos flock to the pan. Witness breath-taking vistas of grass and thorn savannah punctuated with intriguing birdlife. The three main camps in the park, Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni offer a pick of accommodation, from hotels to campsites with swimming pools and superb restaurants. Sit in silence around the waterhole in Etosha and sight wildlife: the game drive to the waterhole is half the fun. Awake to fresh mornings with early morning coffee and long game drives followed by picnic lunches, cocktails in the cool evenings and roaring campfires under a starry sky. All of these magical elements combine powerfully to make Etosha one of the most magical, exotic and evocative places on earth.
