Day 10 Etosha National Park

Today we’ll board our 4x4 safari vehicles for a full-day game drive in the park, before arriving to our lodge this evening. The heart Etosha National park, which was founded as early as 1907, is the 5,000 square kilometre salt pan. This salt pan, which is up to 120 km long and 55 km wide, was formed about 2 - 10 million years ago when the Kunene River flowed into Lake Ekuma, the extension of which formed the Etosha Pan. Later, the Kunene shifted its bed westwards to the Ruacana Falls, cutting off the water supply to the lake. During the drying period, the bottom of the former inland lake became very brackish, wind erosion deepened the depression and a deposited layer of clay and silt remained, up to 240m thick in places.
The park's great animal wealth includes well over a hundred species of mammals, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, black rhinos, blue wildebeests, giraffes, plains zebras and the rare black-nosed impala, the Damara dik-dik (pygmy green antelope) and 340 different bird species. The western part of Etosha National Park is also home to roan antelope, sable antelope and mountain zebra. Meals included: B,D
Next day
Etosha National Park

Day 11 Etosha National Park

This morning there will be even more opportunities to watch the animals as they gather around the waterholes and roam freely around the park – incredible sights that you’ll surely never forget. Once back at the lodge, the rest of the day is free for you to relax before dinner this evening.
PLEASE NOTE that plastic bags are not permitted into Etosha National Park
Meals included: B,D

Dolphin and seal catamaran cruise

Dolphin and seal catamaran cruise

Depart Walvis Bay Yacht Club and head out into the beautiful bay area, which holds more splendour than can at first be seen – a shipwreck, lighthouse, oyster platforms, different bird species, seals and an abundance of marine life. In the bay area, the catamaran (occasionally this tour may be operated by a slightly smaller vessel) will move alongside the oyster platforms and your guide will share more information with you about locally cultivated Walvis Bay oysters – a tasting is included. We'll then head to Pelican Point for a closer look at the lighthouse. It is here that you will hopefully see three different types of dolphins, namely the heaviside dolphins – endemic to the Namibian coast, dusky dolphins and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. In season (July-November), the larger mammals like the southern right whale and humpback whales may be spotted. With a bit of luck, the mighty killer whales (orcas) might make an appearance. All this can be experienced comfortably, whilst relaxing in the saloon or on the deck, enjoying a glass of sparkling wine and delicious snacks.
