Your guide will drive you back into the park, and if you have any specific requests for what you’d like to see, they’ll try their best to find these animals for you.

Today is your final day on safari, so you may want to return to the park with your driver and explore, meandering along the tracks and keeping an eye out for wildlife as you pass. Etosha in unique in that many different species will gather around the same waterhole, if you’re lucky you may see them all take their turns.
