Day Notes
Collect your vehicle and meet with your consultant who will go through your itinerary and answer any last-minute questions you may have before leaving the city of Windhoek behind. The drive takes you north to Otjiwarongo and onto Outjo, where you can buy water and fresh supplies, before arriving at Anderson’s Gate, the gateway to Etosha National Park. Enjoy your first game drive to the rest camp perhaps stopping at Ombika waterhole en route. Later, relax by the floodlit waterhole and see what game comes to drink. During the dry season, Okaukuejo waterhole is generally very active with hordes of animals wandering out of the bush to congregate to drink, as dust rises from hooves, and animals call across to each other, large herds of plains game such as springbok, zebra, wildebeest along with giraffe and kudu come to the fore. Around sunset it’s common for herds of elephant, as well as the endangered black rhino to enter the fray. Lion and other predators are of course, frequent visitors as well.
