SAFARI
TRAVEL: ETOSHA PAN
Etosha
is one of the largest game parks in Africa and quite unique
with its vast expanses of shimmering white sands, offset
with herds of animals congregating near water holes or
in the shade of lone trees.
Game such as zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, springbok, impala
and eland abound in great numbers on the grasslands and
congregate at waterholes in the dry season. Herds of fifty
elephants are not unusual, while lions and hyenas must
be searched for. The desert dwelling oryx, or gemsbok,
will be seen here along with the impressive kudu. Etosha
also contains endangered black rhino and unusual species
like the black-faced impala.
