FREE airport departure transfers are only available for return flights departing after the group flight - from our Windhoek hotel to the airport.

Accommodation

We use a mixture of camping, lodges and hotels on this trip. By staying in tents for 7 nights we can sleep in some stunning and remote locations away from the crowds and busy tourist areas. All communal camping gear is provided, including spacious dome tents, thick foam mattresses and folding stools, although you will need to take your own sleeping bag. Most of the places we stay have swimming pools available and all of the hotels and lodges have en suite facilities. Please note that due to the limited amount of accommodation within Etosha National Park, it may be necessary to sleep outside the park on some or all of the nights that we are there. This will not impact on the number of game drives that we have within the park. Single accommodation (available on request).
