There were many highlights during my visit to Etosha National Park in Namibia. But if I had to choose just one, it would be the elephants.
I think you’ll understand why after seeing these photos in which pictures speak louder than words:

Know Before You Visit Etosha National Park:
- The waterholes in Etosha are the best place for game viewing. Check out my photos taken at the waterhole of Okaukuejo Rest Camp.
- Etosha is home to 150 mammal species. You can find a list of them here.
- I would recommend spending at least 3 nights in Etosha. Two nights at the Okaukeujo Rest Camp and one night at one of the other camps.
- The best time to visit Etosha is from May to October during the dry season It’s not as hot then and wildlife sightings are plentiful around the waterholes.
- #1 Travel Tip: Book early!!!! Etosha is a popular destination with Germans who will book their accommodation up to a year in advance. There aren’t a lot of places to stay in Etosha and it fills up really quickly.
