This road trip of Namibia's northern regions is essentially a wildlife-centered trip, with a focus on Namibia’s famous Etosha National Park. There’s also the chance to engage in authentic and enriching community visits in Damaraland. Be prepared for some long drives but the scenery will make it all worth it. Each stop along the way will offer provide a welcome reprieve and the chance to step out from behind the wheel.
Stretch your legs on a rhino trekking activity from Damaraland or hike to ancient rock art sites and geological wonders of the area. The wildlife offering in the Etosha region, where you will stay in 2 different lodges, is outstanding. It’s home to a vast array of animals including the Big 5. Its famous waterholes attract a variety of wildlife making them a veritable feast for safari goers. Also visit the Okonjima Reserve, home to the AfriCat Foundation, and witness carnivores and other endangered species like the aardvark, pangolin and brown hyaena in the wild and to be educated about conservation.
