It’s home to over 340 species of birds, with birds of prey being well represented. The reserve is most famous for huge herds of elephants. Black and white rhino, as well as lion, leopard and cheetah call this area home as well. It is common to see 5 – 8 or more mammal species at a water hole at the same time. A photographers dream! Once we arrive we’ll check into the Etosha Village where we can relax and enjoy the Namibian bush. The next day we’ll enjoy game drives in the morning and evening and have time to relax around the pool under the hot Namibia sun.  2 Nights Lodging at Etosha Village

Enroute we’ll see amazing views of the magnificent slopes and colors of the dunes from the air offering many photo opportunities. Some of the dunes reach up to 300 meters. When we land we’ll check in at the Sossusviel Lodge. We will visit and photograph the iconic areas of the Sossusvlei, Dead Vlei, & Sesriem Canyon.
