A Visitor's Guide to Etosha National Park (EBOEK)

Etosha National Park is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries – renowned for its stark beauty and abundant wildlife. Spanning more than 22,000 square kilometres in the semi-arid reaches of northern Namibia, it shelters a dazzling variety of mammals, birds, reptiles and other life forms, coexisting in a fragile ecosystem shaped by seasonal changes and water availability. At its heart lies Etosha Pan, the remnant of a vast inland lake, where adjacent springs and waterholes attract large herds of animals – elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, springbok, gemsbok, and the predators that follow in their wake. While presenting a record of Etosha’s past and present, this volume also serves as a valuable guide, providing practical advice, as well as describing active waterholes and the animals that can be seen there, recommended self-drive routes for prime game viewing, and accommodation options within and beyond the park. An indispensable companion to an unforgettable African safari
