Your first-day drive is 435 kilometres, so it is advisable to make an early start to have some time in Etosha Park before sunset. Okaukuejo's floodlit waterhole attracts a large amount of game, so you are likely to see antelope as well as zebra, giraffe, elephant, rhino and maybe a lion. You have three nights here, two in the park and the last night at a private lodge on the eastern edge of the park. Game viewing is conducted in your own vehicle but guided tours can also be arranged.

There are numerous roads that link the waterholes around Etosha pan and you can explore these at your own leisure throughout the day. If you are very keen to get as many animal sightings as possible, you could drive out again in the evening and spend time at the spotlit waterhole to watch the animals quenching their thirst before the sunsets.

Today is another day of game viewing. From Okaukuejo, it takes at least a couple of hours to get to your accommodation on the eastern side of the park, particularly if you spot anything interesting along the way. You can either decide to continue driving yourselves around for the day and use the lodge as an overnight stop or you can arrange an afternoon guided game drive with the lodge.

The Mahango National Game Park is just a 10-minute drive and Buffalo Game Park is just 20 minutes away, both are part of the strip. You have fantastic opportunities to see elephant, buffalo and deer such as sable and waterbuck.
