Etosha National Park offers accommodation in three well established rest camps Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni within the Park and a host of private lodges on its borders.
Etosha offers visitors a wide choice of safari options. The flood-lit waterholes at Okaukuejo and Fort Namutoni, previously the northernmost German outpost and now a rest camp, are just some of the charms of this place called Etosha. Partaking on safari is the ideal way to explore a specific area amongst a small group of people with a 4x4 safari vehicle. Safaris, from a choice of three, six, fourteen and twenty days are aimed at the more adventurous traveller wanting to experience wildlife and nature in its natural surroundings, off the beat and track. The open-air safari vehicles allow you to have a 360 degree view on the vehicles which is ideal for the keen photographer.
Etosha's wildlife is absolutely stunning. Etosha is home to 114 mammalian species including the black-faced impala and the threatened black and white rhino. There are no buffalo, hippo, crocodile or monkeys. However, plains game such as zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, springbok, impala and eland abound in great numbers on the grasslands and congregate at waterholes in the dry season. Lions and hyenas must be searched for, but silver-backed jackals trot around almost oblivious to you.
The Park's birdlife is absolutely wonderful with every kind of feathered friend - selection of stunning birds as The Ground Hornbill, Great Crested Grebe, Saddle-billed Stork, Grey-backed Sparrowlark, Kori Bustard, Hartlaub's Spurfowl and many, many more!
The vegetation is primarily arid savannah, shrub and thorn scrub in the west, tending towards tree savannah and broadleaved woodland in the east. Acacia woodland is found throughout the region with Mopane woodland (central) and Combretum woodland (east) dominating patchily within the park's broadleaved savannah belt. Mopane trees constitute about 90% of all trees, while several Acacia species, such as the Water Horn, the Red Umbrella Thorn, the Umbrella Thorn, the Hairy Umbrella Thorn and a number of Combretum species, varying from shrubs to trees, are also characteristic. The dominant grasses are anthephora, enneapogon, artisda, stipagrotis.
