Day 7: Etosha National Park - Okaukuejo, Namibia

You will travel via Khorixas and Outjo on your African safari to enter the Etosha National Park at Anderson Gate. The Etosha National Park, consisting of 22 270 kilometres (13 837 miles)of saline desert, savannah and woodlands, is one of the largest parks in Africa. The Etosha National Park owes its unique landscape to the Etosha Pan, a vast shallow depression of approximately 5 000 km square.

Of the 114 mammal species found in the park, several are rare and endangered, such as Black Rhino and Black-Faced Impala. The Elephant in this park is reputed to be of the largest in Africa, the tallest ones measuring up to 4m at the shoulder. Their tusks, on the other hand, are relatively small, due to genetic defects and mineral deficiencies in their diet. There is great game watching in store on this leg of your African safari.
