Tour Overview
Our Namibia Big 5 Safari focuses on getting the opportunity to see the big 5 animals (elephant, rhino, buffalo, leopard and lion), enjoying game drives and taking pictures. The big five are examples of charismatic megafauna, featuring prominently in popular culture, and are among the most famous of Africa’s large animals. The term was coined by big-game hunters, and refers to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot in days gone by.

Day by Day Overview
Clients depart from Windhoek to Erindi Game Reserve, located southeast of Omaruru. Erindi Game Reserve is a spectacularly scenic protected reserve in north-western Namibia. ‘Erindi’, meaning the place of water, boasts incredible lush scenery. Stretching over 79,000 hectares, this natural wonderland features comfortable accommodation options and magnificent landscapes encompassing grasslands, savannah, and rugged mountains inhabited by an abundance of diverse wildlife.
Included activities: Afternoon game drive to view elephants, giraffes, rhino, lion, hyena, zebra, kudu, wildebeest and many other animals

Today you head into one of the most beautiful desert regions in Namibia, Damaraland. It is a rocky site situated in the Kunene Region of north-western Namibia. The site contains around 2,000 rock carvings and in 2007, UNESCO approved it as a World Heritage Site.
Included activities: Nature Drive and Guided Desert Elephant Tour
Overnight: Twyfelfontein Country Lodge
You will depart to Etosha National Park and stay two nights. The park’s main characteristic is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. Yet there is abundant wildlife that congregates around the waterholes, giving you almost guaranteed game sightings. At the same time, Etosha National Park is one of the most accessible game reserves in Namibia and Southern Africa, the concentration of big games around the waterholes makes game viewing incredibly rewarding. You might not even have to leave your rest camp to see lions, elephants, rhino and any number of antelope and zebra quenching their thirst
Included activities: Afternoon game drive
Overnight: Etosha Safari Lodge
Have breakfast then enjoy a full day of safari game viewing allowing plenty of opportunities for good sightings and spectacular photographs.
Included activities: Full day game drive
Overnight: Etosha Safari Lodge
Have an early breakfast and depart to Grootfontein (meaning ‘Big Fountain’), which is famous for being home to the largest meteorite ever discovered on earth (located roughly 25 kilometres from the town centre). Along the way you will make a stop at Tsumeb for some shopping and visit the Bushmen village.
Included activities: Visit to Mangetti National Park (home to elephant, eland, wildebeest, kudu, sable, steenbok, duiker, Burchell’s zebra, common impalas, gemsbok, and giraffes.)
Overnight: Roy’s Rest Camp
Early breakfast and then depart to the Okavango River with a visit to the Mahango Game Reserve Park, where, apart from animals, we will see huge baobabs. Today’s episode is not too long and we should be there in the early afternoon. The whole road leads through Caprivi and the area of the Bwabata National Park. The route is decorated with road signs “beware of elephants”. This is the route of the largest population of elephants migrating from Chobe to Zambezi.
Included activities: A visit to the Mahango Game Reserve Park (home to herds of elephant as well as hippo, buffalo, giraffes, antelope, and many other animals)

Today you cross the border into Botswana and reach Kasane – the largest town in this region with a slight architectural chaos characteristic of Botswana. This area has the largest concentration of elephants in the world. Elephant migrations take place very close to the city limits. On the access road, be very careful because huge herds like to run across the main road. In Kasane, we will go on a boat trip on the Chobe River on which we will observe many wild animals.
Included activities: Afternoon boat cruise
Overnight: Chobe Safari Lodge
After breakfast, head out on a full day of safari game viewing.
