Etosha National Park

The Etosha National Park is a nature conservation area in northern Namibia and is one of the most noteworthy game reserves in Africa. In Namibia, it is by far the best known and most important national park. Today the park covers an area of nearly 22.912 km² and is completely fenced for the protection of the animals.

Within the eastern part of the park, an approximately 5.000 km² large salt pan can be found, which was formed about 2 million years ago when the Kunene Delta dried up and its riverbed shifted.

What makes this park unique is the floodlit waterholes at all the main camps. Some of the camps even have photography hides near the waterholes. Of course, Etosha is any photographer or nature lover’s dream. Most of the lodges have private decks or verandas to observe the pristine landscape.
