Etosha National Park, Namibia’s flagship park, is practically a zoo in dry season (April to September) when thirsty animals congregate around its 30 waterholes. It’s so easy to spot game – just pull up at a waterhole with your camera, binocs and some snacks and wait for something to arrive (if there isn’t already a herd of elephant or a pride of lions there). Etosha in winter is a wildlife photographer’s paradise, and because the animals are so used to vehicles, it’s great for wildlife filming (even for an amateur like me).
