Travel Info

Etosha National Park : Travel Information

Opening Hours
The Etosha National Park is open all year and daily from sunrise to sunset. At dusk one must be at one of the restcamps or leave the park. When planning your trip, please keep in mind that the maximum speed is 60 km/h throughout the park.

Best Time to Travel
Etosha can be travelled all year round. The wide, open plains and and the numerous accessible waterholes guarantee good game viewing throughout the year. In the rainy season, from January to April, however, not so many animals come to the waterholes, because they find water everywhere in the vast reserve. On the other hand, the park is not as dusty as in the dry season then, and the fresh grass attracts antelopes, especially springbok, in great numbers who have young ones at this time.
