Etosha National Park Overview
Etosha National Park is located 500km (311 miles) north of Namibia's capital city, Windhoek. It is one of the largest game reserves in the world and famous for its many species of wildlife. Until the 1960s, it was the largest game reserve in the world, when its surface area was reduced due to political reasons. Today, Etosha has three restcamps - Okaukejo, Namutoni and Halali. Okaukejo is famous for its floodlit waterholes, which are frequented by elephants, giraffes, black rhino and lions; Namutoni is centered around a historic fort and Halali is situated halfway between the two and is the quietest of the three camps. The park, which has an estimated 300 lions, 2000 giraffes and 1500 elephants, owes its unique landscape to the Etosha Pan, a giant clay salt pan forming a shallow depression which allows amazing views of the game.
