Ostriches are farmed in Namibia because their meat is lean and every body part can be used for other purposes besides food. If you don’t see any in their preferred habitat, however, you might try an ostrich farm. They prefer living on plains with short grasses and avoid rocky areas. Ostriches adapt well to the country’s deserts because they can go long periods without water. You’re more likely to see ostriches in the wild in the Namib Desert, Etosha National Park, the Kalahari Desert or around Windhoek. Ostriches can be found naturally in the wilds of Namibia. In the trivia department, the females have a pseudo penis and are the only mammal that doesn’t have a vaginal opening. These bear-like animals are very social, running in packs that are dominated by the females. Hyenas can be found mainly in Etosha and Skeleton Coast national parks, the Caprivi strip and Kaokoland. Also known as the laughing hyena, this animal is a native of sub-Sahara Africa, though the species roamed Europe and Asia in ancient times. You shouldn’t have any problems spotting a spotted hyena in the wild since upwards of 47,000 exist in Africa. Etosha National Park is a good place to see them in the wild. It lives in herds of 20 to 40 animals, preferring to live in southern Africa’s open savannahs. When it is spooked, it will take off running but stop after awhile, looking back to see if it’s still being chased. It is an agile animal, quite aware of its surroundings.
Though it resembles an American bison, because of its broad shoulders and heavy front end, the blue wildebeest is considered a large antelope, with cattle-like horns. Etosha National Park is a great place to start, since its home to a wide variety of animals in Namibia. While you may not see all of the Big Five – lion, rhinoceros, leopard, buffalo and elephant – you should be able to cross a goodly number off your bucket list. Namibia, formerly part of South Africa, is a good place to start making your dream come true.
