This morning we arrive in Otavi. Here, we leave the train and
transfer to Mokuti Lodge, located at the gateway to the Etosha
National Park. Etosha is one of the finest game reserves in
Southern Africa, home to elephants, giraffes, rhinos, lions, and
cheetahs. We take an afternoon game drive to try to spot some of
these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. After a second
game drive early on Day 8, we return to Mokuti
Lodge for breakfast. We re-board the train and continue to
Windhoek, enjoying a relaxing evening on board as we travel.
On Day 9 we enjoy a tour of Windhoek, Namibia's
lush, lively and modern capital city, which sits in the middle of
the desert. We continue by flying to Sossusvlei, a huge salt and
clay pan enclosed by giant sand dunes. This is Namibia's most
famous landmark, and tonight we are treated to a desert drive
before dinner. We stay at Sossusvlei Lodge overnight.
Etosha National Park
Etosha, meaning 'Great White Place', boasts one of the finest
game reserves in Southern Africa, and is home to 4 of the mighty
'Big Five' game animals. We enjoy 2 game drives here, enjoying the
magnificent wildlife viewing opportunities. Look out for giraffes
nibbling at lush trees, zebra and wildebeest roaming the plains,
and majestic lions lounging in the sun.
