Etosha National Park, one of Africa's largest and oldest national parks, is Namibia's premier tourist destination. Spanning approximately 22,935 square kilometers, this diverse park is renowned for its vast salt pan, which was once part of the ancient Lake Kunene. Etosha is home to an impressive array of wildlife, including 114 species of mammals, over 400 bird species, and numerous reptiles. The park has a distinguished history of black rhino conservation and has recently reintroduced white rhinos. Visitors can enjoy remarkable game viewing at the park's numerous waterholes, particularly at the Okaukuejo waterhole, where sightings of black rhino, lion, and elephant are common at night. The park's unique landscape and varied vegetation, such as the mopane shrubland and the enchanting Fairytale Forest, further enhance its appeal to nature enthusiasts and scientists from around the world.

Fantastic game drives. Make sure your guide is on the general WhatsApp group as everyone gets informed when there's a Big 5 sighting. In one day, we saw lions (after a recent giraffe kill), elephants, hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and many impala and springbok.

One of the best parts of the Etosha NP was you have the freedom to drive around the National Park with your Vehicle in Africa with time limits. but its such a great freedom. and park is so much lively.

As our time at the park was limited we opted for an eight hour guided game drive. We loved it, saw many animals and the information given by the guide.

It’s sad to see how such a beautiful and unique place is deteriorating. The condition of the infrastructure is bad. The service is nothing like it was 11 years ago when I first visit. The food is eatable at best. I hope that more resources are allocated to improve it and new staff members run it. Namibia is of the most beautiful countries , it deserves a better national park attention. Namibia is magic

Many many animals, that's for sure. But pretty flat and boring landscape. Still worth coming.
