Etosha National Park

Morning AfriCat visit has been included for you this morning, and once you've had breakfast and checked out, you continue driving north towards Mushara Camp where you will spend the next three nights. Your stay includes dinners and breakfasts. Spend the next two days at your own pace, going for game drives into Etosha National Park or just spending time at the lodge. Your accommodation is a comfortable en-suite tent, built from canvas, wood and local limestone with a private veranda.

Etosha National Park is unique in Africa. The park’s main characteristic is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. Yet there is abundant wildlife that congregates around the waterholes, giving you the best chance at game sightings. Plan your route and pack a picnic basket to spend the day in the Park.
