We're taking you along on our epic adventure to Namibia's Etosha National Park, where we got to witness the breathtaking beauty of Africa's Big Five animals. From majestic elephants to fierce lions to the rare rhinos and everything in between, we were in awe of the stunning wildlife that roams this incredible park. And of course, we couldn't forget about the giraffes, zebras, and other creatures that call Etosha home.
But the real highlight of Etosha National Park is the watering holes. At night, they are lit up and become the source of all the action. It's an incredible sight to see, as you get to witness the animals in their natural habitat, interacting with one another and drinking from the watering holes. You'll definitely want to have your camera ready for this!
During our trip, we had the unique opportunity to self-drive through the park in our rooftop camper truck. It was an amazing experience to be able to explore the park at our own pace, stopping to take in the sights and sounds of this stunning wilderness. We'll share our tips and tricks for navigating the park on your own and show you what it's like to camp under the stars in the heart of Africa.
So join us on this unforgettable adventure to Etosha National Park, as we witness the beauty of the Big Five animals, experience the magic of the watering holes, and go on a self-driving adventure through the wilderness.

The watering holes at Etosha are so special! Definitely a safari bucket list!
Great video you guys. Love how you put it together too. A joy to watch!
Full marks for that Rhino reverse manuevre....

Hi Nick, great video. We're just planning our trip to Namibia and found your videos super helpful. Would you be able to share your itinerary (days/where you spent the night) and perhaps where you would have loved to spend more time/would have loved to go if you had had more time?
Thanks in advance! Enjoy your next trips
Of course! We would be happy to share our itinerary - please see below. Honestly, we do not know that there is anything that we would have spent more time on because we felt as though aside from Etosha, most of the spaces were perfect for just a day for us. We are people that like to wake up early and pack everything in though and, as you can see from the itinerary, it was a lot of driving so just something to note. We actually paired our two-week trip with a few days in Cape Town, South Africa!

Great video 🤩👍 witch month did you visit Etosha ?
We were there right at the end of July! Planning a trip there yourself?
@@StNickTravels In summer 2022, I visited the west of the USA (San Francisco-Yosemite-Detah Valley-Las Vegas -Zion-Bryce-Monument Valley-Grand Canyon-Road 66-LA-Big Sur), awesome !! Best trip ever ! Now, in 2023, it is time for saving money again 😅 and Namibia is planned for May 2024 🤞 Thank you again for sharing !
@@jeromecarlier1713 That sounds wonderful
That sounds wonderful, I am sure you will have an amazing time! Let us know if you have any other questions!
@@StNickTravels yes… trip is planned in May 2024 (long time to wait before discover the fabulous country 😅).
@@bulwyld Ah yes, the wait is hard, but it will be well worth it!!!
At which waterholes did you see the rhinos?
We actually saw Rhinos at each of the three waterholes at the camps we stayed at (Halali, Okaukuejo, Olifanstrus). You can visit these during the day but we actually saw them every night at dusk and in the evening since the waterholes were lit up at night! Of the three safaris we have done, also including Kruger and Maasai Mara, Etosha is where we saw the most rhinos, by far!
👍👍
Incredible and gorgeous place, it gives a small glimpse into what southern Africa looked like before European's arrived there in the 1600's and then of course went on to kill most animals in that area.
Absolutely! It's great to see the animal populations beginning to rise once again!
@@StNickTravels Animal populations are rising in the area, that is wonderful to hear🙂
Thanks for the video. It is super informative and helpful. Did you guys bring meat into the park? Cuz I read that it is not allowed to bring the meat into the park. Where did you checklist book? How much does it cost?
Hello! We did bring in all of our groceries into the park, meat included, and did not see any signs stating otherwise. We got that little book at the store in Okaukuejo, the main camp in the park. Highly recommend as it was a fun way to identify and keep track of the animals we saw!
amazing video... really loved it. Next year in April I am going as well.
btw are drones allowed?
Thank you! You will have a fantastic time I'm sure! The drone situation is a bit sticky and there are a lot of restrictions of where/how you can/can't fly. I'd recommend checking out more online!
Great video and amazing animal views, thank you for sharing. Do you mind sharing the location of the salt pan you mentioned in Etosha? We couldn't figure out where it is and would love to know. Thanks!
Yes, this pin is the spot where you can get out of your car and walk on the pan! Enjoy! maps.app.goo.gl/PmFfDaWe9eAg7g7w6
Hi
Great video!! Thanks for sharing it!! Looks like you were there end of August-do you know if there's huge change in weather, animal viewing etc in September?
Hi there! We were there in late-July / early-August. We think that the animal viewing in September would be pretty similar. It should be near the end of the dry season and dry season in Namibia is best as the animals congregate near the watering holes. We think it would be a great time, enjoy!
Thanku
awesome video 😍 which company did you guys rent a car from?
We did Advanced Hire and they were great! Reasonable prices, super communicative, and a quality vehicle. Highly recommend! www.advancedcarhire.com/
神よ、ナミビアの砂漠に樹木と大きな水場と川をお授け下さい‼️
The animals can smell the food in the backseat of the vehicle. Remove your dark glasses too.
Not sure about advertising rhino
The rhino and elephant don't like American accents
The animals are bored with turists
Horrendous soundtrack.
