Etosha National Park:

Once one of the largest game parks in Africa, Etosha’s boundaries have been greatly reduced by increases in population and administrative boundaries over the 20th century. The park is however still Namibia’s premier wildlife sanctuary and is home to a variety of wildlife such as; lion, elephant, zebra, cheetah, rhino, warthog, giraffe and leopard.

Within the park is the “Etosha Pan” a once permanent lake, the pan is now a depression that temporarily fills up during the rainy season and attracts a variety of birds here such as flamingo. The park is also home to an estimated 340 bird species as well amphibians and reptiles.

The park can be reached by road from Windhoek and the main entrance gate “Andersson Gate” is situated at the south end of the park. Accommodation is provided at three campsites and a number of lodges.
