Natural Selection
An Exceptional Wildlife Experience... Without the Crowds
If Etosha is on your Namibia wish list, then we suggest you make a beeline for Etosha Heights Private Reserve. The reserve shares a 65-kilometre boundary with the famous Etosha National Park and, at 60 000 hectares in size, it is one of the largest private reserves in Namibia.
Over the past 7 years this reserve has transitioned from an agricultural and hunting area to what is now a conservation success story. The result has been a significant increase in both variety and density of wildlife to the point where the wildlife populations are now an extension to the adjacent Etosha National Park and the game watching opportunities for visitors are exceptional.
This thriving wildlife area, already famous for both black and white rhino, now also has healthy populations of other threatened or endangered species including over 150 elephant (elephant previously did not use this reserve), 200 locally endemic black-faced impala, 60 sable antelope and over 30 lions. Etosha Heights also provides an important roost and bathing area for 2 of Namibia’s vulnerable vulture species; the white-backed and lappet-faced vulture. Being at the intersection of desert animals and savannah species, visitors can expect to encounter leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, oryx, wildebeest, eland, as well as some smaller species of jackal, bat-eared fox, the elusive honey badger and so much more.
The game viewing experience in this private reserve is further enhanced by our expert safari guides, a two-storey photographic hide overlooking a large natural waterhole for close-up encounters, and the absence of crowds at wildlife encounters. The reserve is a hotspot for bird lovers too, enjoy action packed moments like falcons hunting quelea at the waterholes.
To enjoy this remarkable Namibia experience, come and stay at Safarihoek, Safari House or Etosha Mountain Lodge. In typical Natural Selection fashion we’ve put comfort at the forefront of this safari experience and on top of the exceptional wildlife, you’ll discover that the hospitality is off the charts too.
