Getting to Etosha (Okaukuejo)

4h 38m from Windhoek on the B1, then the C38, 430 km, all of it tarred. Every price below buys the whole vehicle rather than a seat, and is fixed before you book — the return is priced beside it, because the two directions are rarely the same number.

Etosha's Andersson Gate shuts at sunset — and sunset here moves by more than an hour across the year. A drive that is comfortable in December is a locked gate in June, which is why we work the departure back from the gate rather than from the clock. How we compute it.

Staying at a lodge near Etosha (Okaukuejo)?

Most people are going to a property rather than to the town, and the last stretch is often gravel that no map app times properly. The prices above are to Etosha (Okaukuejo) itself. Send us the lodge and we price the door, not the nearest signpost — we would rather ask than publish a guess at somebody else’s driveway.
