Day 2, Etosha National Park
The day is devoted purely to open vehicle game drives in search of the abundant wildlife found in the Etosha National Park. The park surrounds a parched salt desert known as the Etosha Pan. This salt pan desert is roughly 150 km long and as wide as 50 km in places. The park is home to 4 of the Big Five – elephant, lion, leopard, and rhino.
Game viewing in the park is largely focused around the waterholes. Ideal places to sit and watch over 114 different game species. Or for an avid birder, in excess of 340 bird species. Popular game species such as giraffe, blue wildebeest, plains and mountain zebra, hyena, lion, leopard, and antelopes. Such as kudu, oryx, and eland. As well as some of the endangered species. Such as the black rhino, cheetah, and black-faced impala. An extensive network of roads links over 30 water holes. Allowing visitors the opportunity of a comprehensive game-viewing safari throughout the park.
During Etosha’s notorious dry spells the pan is a deathly place, lying parched and cracked under the molten African sun. It is claimed that game viewing is best during the dry periods. As animals will then congregate closer to water. But even in the rainy season, the park remains an abundant wildlife haven. This is when you have the pleasure of experiencing the rebirth of life. The young play with their parents and the sprouting of new green shrubs and grasses creates a pleasing green oasis.
