Etosha National Park is the gateway to Northern Namibia and Ovamboland. It is Namibia's prime wildlife location and home to a large variety of mammals and birds. Etosha means the ' great white area ' this refers to large dried pan in the middle of the Etosha Park called Etosh Pan.
Etosha National Park is a protected area in northern Namibia. Lions, elephants, black rhinos and giraffes gather at waterholes such as Halali, Okondeka and the floodlit Okaukuejo. Rough roads fringe the vast white-green salt flat of the Etosha Pan, a breeding ground for flamingos. Other birdlife includes eagles, hornbills, owls and ostriches. Camel thorn trees provide food and shelter for many of the park's animals.
