3 Days Etosha National Park Safaris

Overall, this was a wonderful experience for me and my wife. Our guide, Petrus, was outstanding as well. He was able to provide so much information on the animals as well as the local tribal communities that really made the safari so interesting. Kavana tours provided a very comfortable, air-conditioned, four-wheel drive vehicle, which was much nicer than the multi-tiered open vehicles many safari companies I have used in the past use. Because we booked the safari at the last minute, we didn't stay inside the park. However, the Okatula lodge, where we stayed for both nights of the safari, was incredible! This lodge has many of the animals you would see in the park right at the lodge. They have a nightly rhinoceros feeding at their own watering hole that puts you face to face with these amazing creatures. The lodge also has an underground "hide" next to the where you can see the rhinos up close in a way that you would never see in the park. The watering hole, which is viewable from the restaurant also attracts many other animals, which makes dinner an amazing experience. The food at dinner both nights we stayed was incredible. I had Oryx and Eland for my two entrees, which were so good. The Hawaiian chicken that my wife had was also very tasty. Finally, I have to say the rooms were so wonderful. We stayed in the Fox room, which was located on the top of a hill adjacent to the lodge. The view from our porch was incredible, especially our first sunset and waking up to see animals in the valley below our room. I would highly recommend both Kavana Tours and Okatala Lodge if you want to have a wonderful experience at Etosha National Park.
