Spot Black Rhino

Going on a game drive in Etosha is an experience to never forget. Vast, open plains as far as the eye can see, with in the middle a massive salt pan. This lack of vegetation and water makes it very easy to spot wildlife! Big game is often seen at the waterholes, and there is no chance you can miss the iconic outline of an elephant on the horizon.

The Ngorongoro caldera is about 20km in diameter. It is the remains of a volcano that has been inactive for over 3,000 years. Many animals live in this environment, including numerous herds of buffalo, wildebeest and zebra. Hyenas, jackals and wild dogs are also seen quite regularly. The felines (lions and leopards), present, are rarer to observe, but the numerous carcasses are witnesses of the activity of the fauna. The elephants observed are mostly old elephants that come here to retire. There are about 20 black rhinos, one of the last places where they can be seen from a distance in Tanzania.

A day safari in the Kruger National Park begins early in the morning, when the bush is alive with movement and the light is perfect for spotting wildlife. From your open 4x4, you might see elephants gathering at a waterhole, giraffes moving gracefully across the plains, or lions resting in the shade of acacia trees. As the day unfolds, your guide helps you interpret tracks, bird calls, and subtle signs of the bush that you’d otherwise miss. Around midday, a picnic stop in the wild offers a moment to relax before heading out again in search of new encounters. By the time you return in the late afternoon, the sights and sounds of the African wilderness leave you with memories you won’t soon forget.
