One of Africa' greatest and most important game parks, Etosha covers an area of more that 22 000 square kilometres (Larger than Switzerland !). The area is a mixture of dense bush, open plains and the incredible salt pans for which Etosha is best known.
The heart of the park is the amazing, shimmering Etosha Pan. This shallow depression fills up in the rainy season and forms a magnet for waterfowl, as well as an incredible diversity of game - Elephant, Giraffe, Lion, Eland and many more.
The dry season also presents fantastic game viewing opportunities as the animals congregate around the waterholes. Large herds of plains game crowd the waterholes to drink and apart from the animals mentioned above, one can expect to find Leopard, cheetah, oryx, kudu and wildebeest.
On the borders of the Reserve, there are a number of private reserves such as Ongava. These offer a more private and luxurious alternative to the National Park, as well as offering private game drives, rhino tracking on foot and night drives. |
