Etosha is Namibia’s premier game viewing destination, where large herds of plains game concentrate around the waterholes in the dry season making for exciting wildlife viewing. Species that can be seen year round include elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, springbok, oryx, kudu and the diminutive Damara dik-dik. Birdlife is also good with Ostrich and raptors in abundance. Local specials include the Short-toed Rock-Thrush, Hartlaub’s Francolin, Rockrunner, White-tailed Shrike and Chestnut Weaver (summer).
