He knew where to find the animals at Etosha" confirming the value of visiting during peak season.
How do I get to Etosha National Park from Windhoek?

A 2-3 day stay allows visitors to explore the park properly through multiple game drives at different times and locations. This timeframe lets guests experience both dawn and dusk viewing when animals are most active.
