A top Namibian wildlife park around a white salt pan, where elephants, lions and rhinos gather at dry-season waterholes.

📍 Destination Overview

Etosha National Park in northern Namibia is among southern Africa's top wildlife destinations. Its heart is the vast white Etosha Pan, a great salt flat ringed by savannah and waterholes. In the dry season herds of elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes and antelope gather to drink, where visitors can wait and watch. Vast, white and untamed, it is a uniquely African safari paradise.
