Etosha National Park

The Etosha National Park covers an area of over 22,000 square kilometers and was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1907. In the center is an extensive salt pan, about 5,000 square kilometers in size, surrounded by grass savannas, light bushland in the west and dry forest in the northeast.

Gravel roads lead to the waterholes, where it is best to observe the game. There are three major state rest camps, Okaukuejo in the central part of the national Park, Namutoni in the east and the Halali Camp in between.

Almost the entire range of African game is represented in the park.

Etosha National Park is open all year round, every day from sunrise to sunset. At nightfall you have to be in one of the rest camps or leave the park beforehand.
