Etosha National Park offers unequal wildlife sightings and it's a definite 'must-see' for visitors to Namibia! During my journeys through the park I experienced very close, yet undisturbed encounters with animals: a female leopard with two small cubs sunbathing in the middle of the main road in the early morning sun (caution to all who exceed speed limits in the park, this ca seriously endanger wildlife), springbok giving birth next to pride of lions, over 60 elephants crossing the road right in front of my car, huge male lion sunbathing on the main road, giraffe (unfortunately) struck by a lightning during rainy season, leopard with its kill on the tree right next to the road, mating lions' 3-days session at one of the waterholes and 16 lionesses and a male hunting in the plains of the park! Just to list a few incredible encounters! I highly recommend visit and if possible not less than 3 days stay at the park for one of the best wildlife experiences. Etosha has its own special magic...

Really a lot of animals that you can aproach easily. Sometimes a lot of tourist are around but there is a lot of place. You feel like in a television reportage!

Vast numbers of wildlife and exciting spectacles with a spectacular backdrop. A little crowded and doesnt quite allow you to get 'into the wild'.

Excellent game viewing. The waterhole in Okaukuejo is great especially at night.

Definitely the Wildlike experience in Namibia. There is no way to miss the lions, zebras, elephants and others. To really enjoy the place, stay in one of the 3 resorts (my favourite is Okaukuejo) because you will have the chance to experience the savana et the wildlife at night around a waterhole.

There is nothing like watching a herd of elephants emerge from the shimmering white light of Etosha. Even on a luxury safari, one is immersed in the heat, can sense the patient suffering of the animals as they await the ever elusive rains. And so many animals, such diversity. Do not miss Etosha!

The uniqueness of the pan and the surrounding area - the wildlife and vegetation. Just amazing. The camping we did there was awesome as well. Totally unexpected and highly recommended.

Etsoha is a popular tourist destination for the foreigner with the big 5 as a major attraction. The camp sites are busy which we try steer clear of.
