'We will be picked up at the airport and driven to Windhoek. The hotel offers an outdoor pool and spa area. There are several restaurants on the premises with outdoor and indoor seating areas, and the sky bar offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Klein Windhoek district. The afternoon is at leisure, possibly for a city tour or depending on arrival we can take a stroll through the city centre (optional).
After breakfast we fly to the Etosha National Park, which is one of the largest game reserves in the world with almost 23'000 km2. Dozens of mammal and reptile species, several amphibian species and more than 300 bird species call the Etosha National Park their home.
The park's most notable geological feature is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. The salt pan is normally dry, however in the raining season fills up with water which attracts flamingos, pelicans, and other waterbirds.
The abundant wildlife congregates around the waterhole which almost guarantees game sightings. The 30’000-ha private game reserve of Ongava is home to 100 different mammal species and about 350 different bird species
At the Ongava Tented camp we discuss our program for the next two days. In the afternoon we can take a game drive on the Ongava Reserve where the experienced guide will explain the fauna and flora of the area. From the lounge area and our tent, we have a clear view of the waterhole.
