Etosha National Park

This is a vast National Park of approximately 22,500 sq. km, and it is dominated by the huge Etosha Pan lying within its borders. The Pan itself, known locally as ‘great white place of dry water’, is around 5000 sq. km and consists of a white, shallow depression that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Around this great expanse of shimmering mirage lie the savannah grasslands and mopane woodlands that provide suitable habitats for a remarkable variety of wildlife. Almost all of the large mammals are found here and this is also a fantastic place to see a huge variety of bird species with abundant migratory visitors, including many raptors and both the greater and lesser flamingoes that arrive here in their millions to breed during the summer months. During the winter, the bush thins out and the water becomes scarce, which generally affords some fantastic game viewing.
