Etosha Pan
Start your day early, especially if traveling from Windhoek, to ensure ample time for exploration. There are several entry gates to Etosha, including Andersson, Von Lindequist, and Namutoni, so choose the one closest to you. The park opens at sunrise and closes at sunset, so plan accordingly. You can either do a self-drive to spot wildlife like elephants, lions, and giraffes, or join a guided game drive for a more informative experience. Popular waterholes like Okaukuejo, Halali, and Namutoni offer great animal sightings. Don’t miss the Etosha Salt Pan for unique landscapes and birdwatching. Stop at rest camps for meals and breaks before continuing your game drives. As the day winds down, head back to your accommodation before sunset.
