#EtoshaNationalPark located in #Namibia, is unique in Africa. The park’s main characteristic is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. Yet there is abundant wildlife that congregates around the waterholes, giving you almost guaranteed game sightings. At the same time Etosha National Park is one of the most accessible game reserves in Namibia and Southern Africa. The name Etosha comes from Oshindonga word meaning Great White Place referring to the Etosha pan. Etosha could also mean “totally bare, white place with lots of dust” or could refer to the noise made by a person’s feet when walking on the clay of the pan #BeautifulAfrica @namibiatravels @namtourismex @tropicalvacationspots @earth.vacation @bestvacations @craiglotter @checkoutafrica

Denna Black-faced Impala fick vi bara se i Etosha nationalpark, de är inte så vanliga utanför nationalparken. Fantastisk vacker! De kan göra upp till 9 meter långa hopp ifall de är på flykt – hur coolt är inte det då? ?? #namibia #impala #blackfacedimpala #huntingtrip #jaktresa #etoshanationalpark #etosha

Travelling through Namibia Namibia, as beautiful as it is, is very sparse and most attractions are very far apart, so please know that when travelling through Namibia, car rental or 4×4 rental from Windhoek is your best bet. Otherwise you’re most likely to get stuck in the capital and mis all the views. We don’t want that.
