Review of a 10-hour Etosha safari in a raised 9-seater 4x4, with local guides, lodge pickup, wildlife viewing, costs, and practical tips.

“Very good experience. The guide was punctual and very friendly. He tried to find the more quantity of animals as possible, but it wasn't the best day. But in the afternoon the oliphant bad gifted us a lot of elephants going to drink water in a pan. Really beautiful. Just to improve the experience, the vehicle had a electrical trouble, and wasn't in good conditions. Is something to improve.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 20 reviews · 1 day · from $170

Review of Okapuka Safari Lodge near Windhoek, covering wildlife, timing, guides, price, transport, lunch, and what to know before booking.

“I booked the Saturday safari and was later told that the Okapuka safari wasn’t possible due to rain. Instead, I was sent to a cheaper farm – still paying the full price. I know Okapuka is more expensive and fully booked, so it felt like an excuse rather than the truth. The driver was late, had no phone credit, and couldn’t find my location. We then drove in the wrong direction for a long time. When we finally arrived, my original group had already left. It started raining, and when we did the safari, we barely saw any animals. The guide had no walkie-talkie and didn’t know where to go.…”
