Five days is about the minimum we need to show you a quick cross section of the various regions we cover. This trip to the north places emphasis on wildlife sightings and photo opportunities.
Be ready to depart around 8 a.m. Our first stop will be at Okonjima Africat Foundation.
After checking in, we'll relax until lunch and prepare for the afternoon's excitement when we go tracking leopards.
We will be staying either at the main Lodge or the Bush Camp and will return there for dinner. Some cocktails around the campfire will see us ready for bed and tomorrow's wonders.
After breakfast, we'll visit the cheetah rehabilitation center where the staff will tell us about the work they do there. With cheetah among the most endangered of all the cats, the staff is doing a great job of helping them survive. (Get closer to these animals than you ever thought possible for great photo opportunities!)
Next we're off to the world famous Etosha National Park, where we will check in at the Okaukuejo Rest Camp just in time for lunch in the restaurant.
The afternoon will be spent on a spectacular game drive in the area surrounding Okaukuejo. Promise - you will see so much wild game real close that you will be in danger of wearing out your camera!
Okaukuejo Restaurant will provide a great dinner and drinks before we head for one of the absolute highlights of the trip - an evening spent in utter silence at the floodlit waterhole. It is really almost impossible to tear oneself away from this place - it's awesome to see an old elephant bull come wandering in to have a drink. And just when you think it can't get better, a nearby lion will roar and raise every hair on your head!
Breakfast will get us set for our game-drive towards Halali Camp where we'll have lunch. The idea is to pack in as many sightings of rare animals as we can - elephant, rhino, giraffe, just to name a few.
Following lunch is more of the same as we head toward Namutoni Gate where we exit the park to book in at Mokuti Lodge, one of the largest guest facilities in Namibia. The buffet (dinner and breakfast) at this place is an experience - make sure to sample small helpings of everything offered before you decide to load up on your favorite!
We head for the Waterberg Plateau Park, with a stop at Otjikoto Lake for sight seeing. Nothing spectacular - just a hole in the earth that nobody has ever been able to determine the bottom of!
At Otjiwarongo, one of the small rural towns on our route, we will stop for a quick visit to a crocodile farm for some photo opportunities.
We will reach the Waterberg Plateau in time for booking in and a leisurely lunch at the restaurant.
The early afternoon is your own - go for a walk along the well-marked trails or relax by the swimming pool. In the late afternoon, we will walk up the Waterberg mountain for a spectacular sundset - the views will leave you in wonder.
An early game drive will allow us an opportunity to view game that could not be seen at Etosha - Cape Buffalo and Black Rhino's. Real early as we want to be back well in time for breakfast so we have ample time to stop off in Okahandja for shopping at the Woodcarvers Market. We need time here to give you the opportunity to find the best of the treasures
