The experience of Namibia was good, but I prefer the bush as opposed to the Namibian landscape. Likewise I prefer bush photography to water-hole photography. Just a matter of preference.

Etosha can be crowded but the wildlife and waterholes are spectacular

The poor quality of the roads in Etosha certainly detracted from the enjoyment of the bush experience. The driver did not have the opportunity to view game, as he had to concentrate on careering on the very neglected roads in the park (even though we drive a 4x4). This needs to enjoy urgent attention from the parks authorities.

I would like to know when last / if any maintenance was done to Etosha roads in the last couple of years.

Worse roads of all the game parks in Namibia.

We experienced our sole disappointment at Etosha Resort. Very substandard and unfriendly in general. Bad accommodation and overpriced. We left a day earlier than booked.

I have been to Kruger National Park before. It was more wildlife and greener. But with that said it was low season in Etosha when I was there. But we did see a lot of lions. Which was great!

There was always an animal to see, but finding the big 5 is a challenge. Salt pans and bush are cool to see, but I wouldn't necessarily describe them as breathtakingly beautiful.

I am embarrassed for my country. The roads in Etosha are horrific and a utter disaster. What impression do we leave tourists, these roads will make you buy a new car.
