Day 1-2
On arrival at the Windhoek International airport you depart to the
north for Etosha National Park.
Overnight for two nights at a 5 *****Lodge
Namibia`s capital Windhoek is a city with "continental" atmospere, because of its architecture - historical buildings as well as its cuisine, culture, dress and educational institutions. At the same time Windhoek has the colour, sounds and tempo of a modern African city. It is a starting point of an adventurous holiday to the country.
The lodge is situated on the 30 000 hectare private game reserve on the foothills of the Ondundozonanandana Range with wonderful views across the plains below. It is ultimately an extension of Etosha National Park as it lies directly on the southern boundary of the park. Each chalet has an en-suite bathroom with a flush toilet, bath and shower. At the front of each chalet is a private viewing deck for afternoon reading if you're not inclined to take a dip in the swimming pool to cool off. Within the private game reserve, one can take part in nature walks, night drives and other activities, which aren't permitted in Etosha National Park. Rhino tracking on foot is one of the most popular activities. Either on the reserve or in Etosha, guests also have the chance to see Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, White and Black Rhino and all the plains games of Namibia including Springbok, Oryx and Hartebeest. For the keen birder, hours can be spent next to waterholes spotting large varieties of birds from a Pygmy Falcon to some of our endemic species such as Hartlaub's Francolin, the Barecheeked Babbler or Ruppel's Parrot.
