Welcome to Doslava Safari and Tour Activities, your premier Safari Tour Operator nestled in the heart of Okaukuejo, Namibia. With years of dedicated experience in tour guiding operations, we pride ourselves on offering unforgettable adventures amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Etosha National Park.
If your primary purpose for going on a safari is to see the majestic Big Five, Etosha National Park is a great choice, as four of the Big Five are present. Only the buffalo is absent, while lions and elephants are very commonly spotted. By nature, leopards are elusive, and Etosha is one of the few African national parks that have a rhino population (but be aware the chance of spotting one is rare).
Etosha is home to a thriving population of African elephants, making sightings of these gentle giants a common occurrence. Watch in awe as these magnificent creatures roam the vast savannah plains or gather around watering holes to quench their thirst.
Elephants are known for their exceptional memory and can remember significant locations, watering holes, and even other elephants they've encountered years later.
Experience the thrill of spotting lions on the prowl as they navigate their territory with grace and power. Etosha's lions are renowned for their impressive mane and distinctive roar, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of Africa's apex predators.
While lionesses do most of the hunting, male lions often enjoy the spoils of their efforts first, demonstrating their dominant role within the pride.
While more elusive than their lion counterparts, leopards can still be spotted within the park, particularly around the dense vegetation of the Etosha Pan's surrounding areas. Keep a keen eye out for these elusive cats as they blend seamlessly into their surroundings.
Leopards are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, from dense forests to semi-arid areas, making them one of the most widespread big cats in the world.
Etosha National Park is one of the best places in Africa to see both black and white rhinos in the wild. These magnificent creatures can often be spotted around the park's watering holes, where they gather to drink and socialize.
Rhinos have poor eyesight but compensate with their acute sense of smell and hearing, which helps them detect potential threats and locate food sources.
Witness the majestic sight of giraffes gracefully striding across the expansive plains of Etosha National Park. Their towering necks allow them to reach the highest branches of acacia trees, where they delicately feast on leaves. Keep your eyes peeled for these gentle giants as they move with elegance and poise.
Giraffes are born with ossicones (horn-like structures) on their heads, which are flat and covered in skin at birth but eventually become more prominent and bony as they age.
Etosha's landscape is adorned with the striking black and white stripes of zebras, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the golden hues of the savannah. These iconic creatures move in herds, their distinctive markings providing camouflage against predators.
Each zebra has a unique pattern of black and white stripes, much like human fingerprints, which helps individuals identify each other within the herd.
