The desert elephant in Namibia is a popular safari highlight as many travellers want to see these magnificent animals and observe how they have adapted to the desert terrain.

You can normally spot them around the Ephemeral Rivers and they can even last 4 days without water. They walk further then most African elephants and sometimes have to walk 60km between waterholes. They are magnificent animals and are wonderful Namibia safari highlight.
