Day 7: Etosha National Park
THE ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK – one of the largest and most prominent game reserves in Africa, covers an area of 22,270 km². The park is home to approximately 114 species of animal wildlife. The main area of the Etosha National Park is covered by a huge salt pan, 129 km long and up to 72 km wide. During the
rainy season the pan resembles a huge lake, but this soon evaporates during the dry season, leaving behind a shimmering sediment causing mirages to play havoc on the eyes. A visit during the dry season, May to October, is certainly the most rewarding time for game viewing. Huge herds of game assemble at the waterholes in the early mornings and before dusk, entertaining the audience with their different antics. Whole day game viewing in the park.
