What to Pack

What to Pack when visiting Etosha. As Namibia has a typical semi-dessert climate with hot days and cool nights. It is best to always prepare for summer and winter as the temperatures can fluctuate. It is advisable to pack a sweater and/or jacket as it becomes quite cool in the evenings and early mornings. The nearest Town towards Etosha National Park are Outjo in the south and Tsumeb in the east. You can get most supplies at these to towns. Always good to support the local business in Namibia.

There is no rush when traveling towards the Etosha Pans. Plan your visit and route. Visit the local shops before entering the park. We will also recommend the local MTC or TN mobile telecom services. A local sim card will make your life easy and able you to make on route plans and changes to your holiday.
