Namibia Wildlife And Water By Road & Air
Perfect for wildlife lovers, this twelve day trip through the northern regions of the country, offers plenty of time to observe & savour Namibia’s wildlife. Explore Okonjima Reserve, Etosha National Park and the national parks in the Zambezi Region. The vastly different characters of these two areas provide a well-rounded, wonderfully varied, and exciting journey.
Departing from your hotel or airport in Windhoek, travel North, to your first location, Okonjima Nature Reserve, a wildlife conservation and rehabilitation centre run by a non-profit organization called the AfriCat Foundation, where you have an excellent opportunity to observe leopard and cheetah. Next up is a drive Northwards to Etosha National Park for 3 nights. With the combination of savannah, woodland and the numerous waterholes,  wildlife viewing can be very rewarding here.  Ornithologists can be on the lookout for some of the 340 bird species that can be found in the park. Continue North East, to the Okavango River, where you spend 2 nights  in this lush green oasis whilst river birds fly up between the reeds.  Onward to the Zambezi region, where a wilder Africa calls. A sanctuary for wildlife, Bwabwata National Park and its surrounds provide countless photographic opportunities, staying for 2 nights on the Kwando River.  Heading further East to the floodplains of the Chobe River, adjacent to Chobe National Park, where it’s possible to spot elephants, buffalo and water-adapted antelope, like sitatunga at different times of the year, for 2 nights before heading on to the mighty Zambezi River, where the life-affirming calls of fish eagles resound through the day and  you spend your final 2 nights of this tour. This region is home to over 450 species of birds, which fill the air with sound, activity and colour.  Drop your hire car at the local airport and a flight back to Windhoek completes your journey.

Brad Wierman
Hello there, I'm Brad, and my safari odyssey began with my first expedition to Kenya in 1984. Since then, I've had the privilege of guiding and exploring various African destinations, from Tanzania to Ethiopia, Rwanda to Zambia, and beyond. Yet, after 34 years, East Africa still captivates me like no other. My most recent adventure here was in June 2018. As an Environmental Conservation major in college, I found my perfect match in Gamewatchers and Porini Camps, whose groundbreaking conservation efforts in Kenya are unparalleled. The moment you witness an elephant in the wild for the first time, you're irrevocably hooked, just as I was.
