A Brief Glimpse
Etosha is safari stripped to bone and light: white salt pan stretching into glare, oryx and springbok etched against the distance, elephants ghosting grey across a desert sky. The sound is sparse and elemental — dry wind, hooves on hard earth, a distant call, the hush of heat — a silence so wide every movement feels ceremonial.
Fun Fact

Did you know?

Etosha’s salt pan is so vast and pale that it can be seen from space — a blinding ancient lakebed that turns wildlife into silhouettes against the white.

Credentials you can trust

Some of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays booked with Safari Circle are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. If you don’t receive an ATOL certificate, the booking will not be ATOL protected. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) would ensure that you’re not stranded abroad. They will also arrange to refund any funds you have already paid us towards your booking. You can verify our ATOL status on the Civil Aviation Authority website. Please note, we operate as independent partners to Major Travel (ATOL 2933)

ABTA act as a trade association (both commercial & regulatory) for travel agents and tour operators in the UK. As independent partners to Major Travel, all of our bookings at Safari Circle that contain hotels, tours or car hire but do not include international flights are protected under Major Travel’s ABTA Bond. In the unlikely event of an unresolved dispute between you as a passenger and us/Major Travel, you can use the ABTA arbitration service as an alternative to legal action. You can verify our ABTA number (Y6455, P7169) on the ABTA website.
