Touted as being ‘one of the most exclusive destinations in Namibia', the 30,000ha Ongava Game Reserve holds true to this statement and strives endlessly, through fierce conservation efforts, to do good by this beautiful wilderness it occupies. One of the largest private game reserves in Namibia, it offers guests the chance to have up-close wildlife encounters.
That depends on your travel style. A Rhino Africa travel specialist will usually recommend private conservancy lodges for a more exclusive safari, while rest camps inside the park can work well for more accessible itineraries.
We recommend three to four nights for a fuller Etosha tour experience. This allows time to explore different parts of the park and enjoy varied waterhole viewing. Five to seven nights works well if combining the national park with a neighbouring private conservancy.
Most guests arrive via a six-hour drive from Windhoek on good tarred roads. Charter flights to nearby airstrips are also available and work well for fly-in safari itineraries.
Etosha has a low to medium malaria risk, which is higher during the rainy season. It’s important to check-in with your doctor before travel.
Etosha is home to four of the Big 5, namely the lion, leopard, elephant, and rhino. The buffalo is not found here.
Etosha’s waterhole viewing strategy makes for frequent wildlife viewing, while the salt pan creates a landscape that feels like its own planet.
Yes. Etosha combines particularly well with the Ongava Reserve, Sossusvlei, the Skeleton Coast, South Africa and wider Southern African itineraries.
