You will have a full-day game drive in Etosha, driving from the southern to eastern parts of the park and checking game-around waterholes. Being a semi-arid area, the park is mainly dependent on artificial waterholes and a small number of natural contact springs. Animals tend to be more concentrated around these waterholes. The eastern side tends to have more vegetation than the southern side hence a difference in bird diversity. You will have a lunch stop somewhere in the park and continue exploring the park. Etosha National Park is unique in its way as the concentration and diversity around waterholes in the dry season in magnificent, giving one a chance to see animal dramas unfolding as they make turns to quench their thirst.
