Travel Before: Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park Namibia

Etosha National Park is the 2nd largest of Namibia's game reserves. It stretches over 20,000km² in Northern Namibia. The park encircles the Etosha salt pan, which draws animals, particularly during the drier winter months, as it's a source of water in a very arid land. Wildlife that can be spotted here include: Rhinos, Lions, Zebra, Giraffes, Gemsbok, Springbok, Wildebeest, Elephants, and Jackals. At all three rest camps, there are watering holes just outside the perimeter fence. At night they are illuminated with flood lights and visitors can sit and watch as the animals come down to drink, flirt and occasionally fight well into the night. They are perfect spots to wander down to with a sundowner after returning from a day’s game spotting. Visitors are not permitted out of the rest camps after sunset so the water holes can provide the chance to continue watching the animals after dark.
