Located near Namibia’s Fish River Canyon and many other main attractions the country offers is the area known as Gondwana. Gondwana is the home of the Kalahari, Sossusvlei, Etosha National Park, the Namib, Twyfelfontein and of course, Fish River Canyon. Each of these areas of the country offers guests a different look at Namibia as they all have their own unique characters that combine together to make this country what it is.
Determining what to see will depend on the individual as they explore this country. The central northern part of Namibia offers visitors the Etosha National Park. The park is filled with native animals such as elephant, rhino, zebra, giraffe, lion, leopard and antelope. It is the perfect place to enjoy a safari drive. The south of Namibia is where visitors can explore the many towering dunes of the desert or see the wild horses that roam the Namib. Fish River Canyon is a must for anyone that visits the country as is the Gondwana Four Desert Tour.
The Etosha Safari Camp is located ten kilometers south of the Andersson Gate in Etosha National Park and it is a self-catering accommodation.
The main lodge offers guests a restaurant and bar in addition to a camp site for more adventurous visitors. It is very much an exercise in basic vacationing as it is very ‘no frills’ and allows visitors to simply enjoy the nature that surrounds them.
Guests should note that this resort is in a malaria area of Namibia and they should take the necessary precautions against mosquito bites during their stay.
The Etosha Safari Camp offers guests 50 chalets that are situated among the Mopane trees on the resort’s property. Each chalet is equipped with two twin beds, mosquito netting, air conditioning, veranda and en-suite bathroom.
The location of the resort allows guests to partake in daily game drives in Etosha National Park. The drives start at 6:30am depending on the season and return to the lodge after a picnic lunch. The second game drive starts at 2pm. The drives are done in a 10 passenger vehicle and there are plenty of chances for photographing the wildlife and getting out to stretch. The drivers of the vehicles are also the guides.
There are also sundowner trips in the bush to watch the sunset. They leave around 6:30 pm and return in time for dinner at the restaurant. Guests may also choose to remain at the resort and simply relax or take a day trip to Windhoek by arrangement from the Etosha Safari Lodge.
