Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park

We lived just 15km from Etosha, one of the best game-viewing parks in Africa.
“Etosha National Park is surely one of the world’s greatest wildlife-viewing venues.  Its name, which means ‘Great White Place of Dry Water’, is taken from the vast white and greenish-colored Etosha Pan.  However, it’s the surrounding bush and grasslands that provide habitat for Etosha’s diverse wildlife.  This vast park takes in more than 20,000 sq km and protects 114 mammal species, as well as 340 bird species, 16 reptiles and amphibians, one fish species and countless insects.”–Lonely Planet Namibia
