Day 7 (Sunday):
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 145 species of animal wildlife,
which includes some endangered species such as the black rhino, cheetah and black-faced impala. Elephants, lions, giraffe, zebra,
hyena, leopards and gnu to name a few, and many antelope such as kudu,
oryx, eland and the smallest antelope, the
Damara dik-dik. Smaller animals include the honey
badger, warthog and bat-eared fox. A
bird population of some 340 species and an important breeding ground for the greater and lesser flamingos in southern Africa.
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.
The Etosha National
Park is open throughout the year and offers accommodation in three
rest camps: Okaukuejo, Halali und
Namutoni.
For security reasons, these camps
close at sunset. Lunch at one of the restcamps
