Hoards of people visit Etosha NP every day. The lodges are booked a year in advance but that is not the only form of accomodation. There are a large variety of camping options. Each of the two main camp/lodge sites are similar in that they are fenced compunds within an outer fence that keeps the animals in. No outer fence and the animals. would revert to their usual migratory routes and out of sight. Within the compound there is a lodge with rooms, a restaurant, snack shop, tourist shop, swimming pool and camp site for tents. Outside the compound but inside the outer fence one can not get out of one's vehicle. A big fine for this as it is obviously in the visitors interest not to be on the menu them selves.
As a result specialized viewing vehicles have been developed. Some with raised viewing platforms but, another rule, there must always be a roof of sorts above the visitors head. If human heads stick above the vehicle silloette then the animals become aware of the voyeurs.
happy trails
