Elephants, Etosha, Namibia

Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park is Namibia’s most prolific wildlife reserve and is home to the country’s largest population of lions and rhinos.

Situated in northern Namibia, Etosha, meaning “Great White Place”, is dominated by a massive shimmering mineral pan, which is flat, rugged and, for much of the year, dry and dusty. The wildlife viewing is best from May to September, which are the cooler months in Namibia.

A little more about Etosha

With over one hundred mammal species and three hundred bird species, it is the dry barren backdrop that makes this park so magical and unforgettable. In the west, it is possible to track rhino on foot and see these wonderful beasts at close proximity.

There is a selection of camps within the park itself and on the outskirts of the park. The Onguma Safari Camps are situated on the eastern side of Etosha, bordering Fisher’s Pan, in the region considered one of Namibia’s best-kept secrets.

Illona Cross

Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also a deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.

Chris is the Conde Nast Traveller chosen Specialist for Madagascar, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.

Almost three decades ago, I set off for a three-month trip to Africa – and ended up staying for two years. Since then, I’ve led groups through Rwanda, Uganda and Malawi, and have been named a Specialist for Madagascar, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda by Condé Nast Traveller. This depth of knowledge and on-the-ground experience is something I bring to each bespoke itinerary I create.
