Etosha National Park

About

Etosha National Park, located in northern Namibia, is renowned for its vast salt pan, known as the Etosha Pan, which covers nearly a quarter of the park's 22,270 square kilometers. This expansive pan, visible from space, is a remnant of a lake that dried up over 100 million years ago. The park's unique landscape includes saline desert, savanna woodlands, and grasslands, providing a diverse habitat for an abundance of wildlife. Etosha is home to over 110 mammal species, including elephants, lions, leopards, and both black and white rhinos. The park offers exceptional game viewing opportunities, particularly around its numerous waterholes, where animals congregate during the dry season. Etosha is also a haven for birdwatchers, with over 340 species recorded, including flamingos that flock to the pan during heavy rains. The park's accessibility and amenities, such as rest camps and floodlit waterholes for night viewing, make it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. Etosha's diverse landscape and wildlife make it a premier safari experience in Africa.
