We went with Wild dog safaries, our guide was Gabriel, asnd he knew his stuff.
This was our second visit we stayed at Dolomite camp recently opened part of the park only accesable to those staying at Dolomite camp and so very quiet.
good points the camp consists of a number of seperate villas set on a dolomite hill ridge totaly open to game (you get driven back to your room at night)just sitting on the balcony we saw all sorts of animals go and coming from the water hole. The accomodation was fine clean and spacious, the food was great
As Namibia is such a dry country visits to the local water holes allow you to get up close and personal to all the usual African game we saw all the "big five" excluding hippos (there are none in this part of Namibia). Our guide seemed to know just which water hole to visit enabling us to see plenty of game all day long . .
This was our second safari in Namibia the first time we stayed on the opposite side of Entosha
Read more which was equally as good.
Namibia is a lovely country , dry, low humidity, clean and the locals arew very friendly The whole country is very scenic and the roads are quiet and easy to drive, It is a country of huge variety from the sceleton coast to the Worlds largest sand dunes , I can 100% recommend it

It feels wild. Not too many other people about. You can drive yourself if you want. Affordable.

Didn’t get to check in to my lodge and I already saw massive herds of elephants crossing the road.
Prides of lions are there and the amount of wildlife around the water holes is beyond belief…

Etosha rates highly with me and was impressed with the rhino sightings. Only missed the leopard. Cannot put words to the feeling you get by "just being there"

I liked seeing the variety of animals. I was amazed at how close we were to the animals. The water holes provide an excellent opportunity to see many animals up close - they come to you rather than you to them.

Don't Miss Staying Up at the Waterholes

Visited Namibia and Etosha after spending a week in Kenya. While not as game rich or scenic as the parks in Kenya, Etosha certainly has a character in its own. Etosha is unique because of its sprawling dry landscape and its waterholes that attract huge of wildlife (including what I swear are the biggest elephants I’ve ever seen in my life.) Even better is if you stay in the park you can stay up all night at the waterhole in your campsite watching animals. The highlight was seeing three species high on my list but often rare to see: black rhinoceros, honey badger and cheetah. Species we saw:

African Elephant
Black Rhinoceros
White Rhinoceros
Cheetah
Angolan Giraffe
Plains Zebra
Blue Wildebeest
Springbok
Gemsbok
Greater Kudu
Impala
Red Hartebeest
Honey Badger
Black-Backed Jackal
Banded Mongoose
Steenbok
Bat (unsure of species)
Yellow-Billed Hornbill
