Day 1:
We had arrived in Windhoek the night before and stayed at Hilton Windhoek which is about 40 minutes from the airport. In the morning we started our 415 km drive to Etosha National Park. It took us around 5 hours with breaks.
We entered the park through Anderson Gate as we were staying in Okaukuejo Camp for first 2 nights. Right after entering the park we drove towards Okondeka waterhole.
After we entered the Okaukuejo Camp where we were staying the first 2 nights, we checked-in at the reception, paid our park fees for the entire stay. We were assigned a really nice room, within about 10 steps from the waterhole viewing area. I had purposefully booked a waterhole chalet and it was well worth the price.
Day 2:
Wildlife viewing in Etosha National park is all centered around waterholes. Either you stay in the camp and hang out by the waterhole viewing area and let the wildlife come to you or you drive waterhole to waterhole to view different wildlife.
We drove from our Okaukuejo camp to Halali Camp as we had heard that waterholes around this camp are a popular spot for big cats (mainly Lions). We did spot lions on both our driving days near Halali but it was from far away both times.
For our 2nd night at the Okaukuejo camp, we were treated by a feisty play between 2 rhinos at the waterhole.
We left the Okaukuejo camp the next morning for a long drive across the park to Namutoni camp where we were staying our last night in the park.
