Beste tijd om te bezoeken

Visiting early morning or late afternoon offers cooler temperatures and active animals at waterholes, while the dry season from May to October guarantees the best wildlife sightings when animals cluster near scarce water.

Budgettips

Entry fees are around $10 to $15 per adult; visiting on Namibia's public holidays can waive entrance fees. Booking a multi-day pass can save money for longer stays.

Over

Korte feiten: Animals gather around 120 natural and artificial waterholes in this park, creating unforgettable wildlife viewing opportunities. Over 114 mammals, including the rare black rhinoceros, roam freely across its 22,270 square kilometers of salt pans and savannah.

Hoogtepunten: Salt pans appear like vast white deserts from above, and during the dry season, wildlife concentrates around waterholes, making it a prime spot to watch up to 14 species of large mammals drinking side by side. At night, floodlit waterholes turn into natural theaters showcasing close encounters with elephants, lions, and endangered black rhinos.

Insidertips

Wear neutral-colored clothing to blend with the environment and avoid startling wildlife.
Bring binoculars and a zoom lens for capturing distant animals at waterholes.
Visit the floodlit waterholes in the evening for rare nocturnal wildlife encounters.
Avoid mid-day sun by scheduling game drives during early morning or late afternoon for better photos and more active wildlife.
