Etosha National Park
Etosha National park is the biggest attraction in the country and one of the world’s largest Game Reserves. It is only 60km from Rexes Hunting Farm and easy driving. Etosha National Park allows no hunting, but the natural balance is kept – thanks to plenty of lion, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. Etosha hosts many different kinds of wildlife in large numbers and is perfect for taking wonderful photographs. To visit Etosha is a must for any traveler. The centre of Etosha National Park is formed by a large saltpan surrounded by grass and thorn savanna. A long time ago the Kunene River fed this saltpan and it was an enormous lake. Today the river has a different course and the lake became a dry saltpan.

There are three camps: Namutoni in the north east, Halali in the middle and Okaukeujo in the south.
Namutoni: The waterhole is frequently visited by breeding herds of elephants. The camp is 140km from Okaukeujo and 70km from Halali.
Halali: The waterhole built at the camp has been well accepted by the game. The camp is 70km from Okaukeujo.
Okaukeujo: This is the most popular camp, due to the floodlight waterhole.

Hiking Trails
There is no better way to engage with nature than to take a walk along a hiking trail. Twisting through the bushes, unwinding the day’s stress, you can end your day with a refreshing sundowner in the field.
