Etosha National Park Tours & Holidays

Etosha, meaning "Great White Place", is dominated by a massive shimmering salt pan. The national park is one of Africa's finest wildlife reserves offering some of the country’s best wildlife safari. Elephant, zebra, giraffe, rhino and lion, including the rare black-maned lions, are habitually seen at the edge of the natural and man-made watering holes as well as being home to a number of endangered black rhino. Further afield elusive leopards and cheetahs stalk the plains and woodlands. The east of the park is accessed through the Von Lindequist Gate near Namatomi. The southern part of the park is one of the more popular areas of the park and has great wildlife spotting opportunities. Here, vegetation varies from shrub savannah and grasslands to thorn-bush and woodland savannah. In eastern Etosha, though quieter than the south, the wildlife is no less rewarding and a particular highlight is the vast expanse of Fischer's Pan where during the brief rains, pelicans and flamingos fill the shallow waters before they quickly seep away. The western sector is the newest area of the park open to visitors and access is through the Galton Gate. The wildlife has developed without human disturbance and rare species such as black rhino and black-faced impala have established themselves in the area.
