Today will be spent on an Etosha safari in the hopes of seeing some spectacular game. Etosha is the pride and joy of Namibia and packed to the brim with wildlife. The park is centred by a great salt pan that not only acts as a source of life for animals but offers a great platform for visitors to see them in their prime. You'll rest back at the camp in-between game drives - wildlife are at their most active in the morning and late in the afternoon.
