Where & When in EtoshaIn the early morning black-faced Impala (Aepyceros melampus petersi), and elephant (Loxodonta africana), drink at Kalkheuvel waterhole. Of course, as in all game parks, as you drive you may encounter wonderful sightings and with luck the sun may be shining from the right direction. The boreholes e.g. Newbrowni, Gemsbokvlakte & Olifantsbad also attract large numbers of game, but the pumps, pipes, and cement sometimes make composition difficult. We prefer to spend our time at the wonderful and open natural waterholes that are scattered over Etosha National Park. We will list our favourites according to to which camp they are near and then subdivide as a sunrise or sunset waterhole. Okaukuejo Camp:- The waterhole at the camp must be the best waterhole in Africa. At sunrise the sun is behind you and the animals glow. The backlit sunsets can be wonderful as the animals kick up dust coming to drink. Also wonderful at night especially later on when most tourists are fast asleep. Otherwise our favourite watering hole is Okondeka, with animals on the pan and lions in wait around the water spring. The morning glare is harsh, and we go in the late afternoon. Be prepared for long drives in this area, especially if you go back to camp for a lunch break. Halali Camp:- Also a good waterhole at the camp but mainly attracting lots of game at night e.g. rhino, elephant, and leopard. To the east is In the morning Goas, wonderful with game around the water in the lush reeds e.g.lion, elephant. In the afternoon Nuamses is a small paradise. We have been waiting patiently there for 7 years for a leopard! On the west side are Rietfontein (for the afternoon) and then Salvadora & Sueda, both face north into the open pan, and so mixed lighting. But nearby and small Charitsaub is ideal in the morning, & although game is sparse there, lion prides do visit the pool. Further west towards Okakuejo is Homob which is ideal in the morning light but the parking place is far from the water. Namutoni:- As you can see from our portfolio captions this is our favourite area. Waterholes are evenly distributed for sunrise and sunset photography and near the main camp. At sunrise head for Chudop. Kalkheuvel, & Ngobib, and if no luck head for Groot Okevi. In the afternoon Klein Okevi and Klein Namutoni. The latter is a paradise at sunset especially in the rainy season when herds of giant clouds mass in the east and glow in the sunlight. (see our portfolios) Please don't take my reserved parking at these specks of paradise! Good hunting
