Etosha National Park is one of Africa’s most unique landscapes, centered around the vast Etosha Pan, a large salt pan visible even from space. The dry, stark terrain creates a striking backdrop for wildlife viewing, especially during the dry season when animals gather around waterholes.
Elephants, rhinos, lions, and springboks are common sightings, and Etosha’s night drives provide a rare opportunity to observe nocturnal wildlife. The stark beauty of the Etosha Pan and its incredible biodiversity make it a must-visit.
