At Okahandja you will stop to watch where the Kavango woodcarvers craft their trade at a large open air craft market - it is here that you can bargain and buy Wooden Carvings for a fraction of the price that you can in Windhoek.

From Okahandja you will continue to Mokuti Lodge on the outskirts of the Etosha Pan. Etosha translates as 'Great White Place of Dry Water’. The pan lies in the heart of a National Park with a total area of 22, 750 square kilometers (see our Etosha Map). This park is ranked among the great parks of Africa. It supports no fewer than 114 species of mammal and 340 species of birds. Much of the area is open country where wildlife is easy to see, especially in the dry season when animals crowd around springs and waterholes. Dwarf shrubs grow on the fringes of the pan with grassland beyond. In the rest of the park, savannah and woodland are typical with the mopane as the dominant tree.

You will have a total of 2 nights at Mokuti Lodge from where you will enjoy safari game drives into the Etosha National Park.
