MoreEtosha National Park is a national park in northwestern Namibia and one of the largest national parks in Africa. It was proclaimed a game reserve in March 1907 in Ordinance 88 by the Governor of German South West Africa, Friedrich von Lindequist. It was designated as Wildschutzgebiet in 1958, and was elevated to the status of a national park in 1967 by an act of parliament of the Republic of South Africa. It spans an area of 22,270 km2 (8,600 sq mi) and gets its name from the large Etosha pan which is almost entirely within the park. With an area of 4,760 km2 (1,840 sq mi), the Etosha pan covers 23% of the total area of the national park. The area is home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds and reptiles, including several threatened and endangered species such as the black rhinoceros. Sixty-one black rhinoceros were killed during poaching in Namibia during 2022, 46 of whom were killed in Etosha.
The park is located in the Kunene region and shares boundaries with the regions of Oshana, Oshikoto and Otjozondjupa.

Etosha National Park is Namibia's most famous tourist destination, the largest of the country's ten national parks. It is a vast area and complex terrain, and is home to many rare birds and wonders. Zebras, antelopes, African antelopes, hyenas, right-horned antelopes galloped on Pingchuan, giraffes, deer, lizards wandered through bushes and groves, leopards and cheetahs fell into the bushes. Elephants were everywhere, and other unnamed animals abound.
The environment at Etosha Natural Wildlife Park is very dry, so you often see wild animals, large and small, flock to the river pond to drink water. This is a peaceful place for both herbivores and carnivores. Of course, the most here is the giraffe, sometimes seeing up to dozens of heads, especially spectacular.

Although there is no way to compare with Kenya, there is still a lot of harvest to look for carefully. There is a trick, especially in the early morning and dusk, by the pond, all animals will come to drink water. This time is the best opportunity to keep the rabbits, and it is also the best time for light and shadow. It is also a paradise for animal photography lovers. See the world at will.
You can see various animals here. For the first time, you can shoot animals at such close range, and these animals are almost never seen. Zebras, antelopes, ostriches, elephants, giraffes, etc. really let you see the harmony between nature and animals. It is large in size and surrounded by green. We drove in, the sun quietly shines in nature is so beautiful. Physical and mental comfort~~~~ It is recommended to bring a long focus lens to take clear animal photos.
Etosha Wildlife Park has been around since 1907, Etosha (Etosha) in the local language meaning "white dry water land", is actually a giant salt marsh, surrounded by savannahs, there are many wildlife, lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, Rhinos, various antelopes, deer, etc., although slightly inferior to Kenya's safari park, lack of some animals such as crocodiles, but the victory is easy to drive, the ticket is quite cheap (80 nam a day, very conscience). His area is also quite large. The park has three gates, of which the most frequent are the south gate and the east gate. The distance between these two gates is also nearly 200 kilometers. It is difficult to walk through within a day. Generally, you need to stay in the park for at least one night. It is recommended to stay for more than 2 nights to enjoy it. We booked a full four-night stay for a better viewing. There are three campsites in the park, each with hotels and camping places, swimming pools, restaurants, gas stations are standard, each camp has a water hole to attract the safari park, visitors can easily watch wildlife next to the puddle, So it is very convenient to drive to Etosha by car, you don't need a guide, just book a hotel, or bring a tent, drive to the park camp, then drive along the park road, or participate in the SAFARI (SUV provided in the park) tour, quite relaxed. Tickets need to be bought at the door, according to the number of days you want to stay in the park, if you arrive at 4 pm, then the next day at 4 pm is even a day, such an algorithm is more conscience. We have to buy 4 days tickets for 4 nights, the children are half price, the locals also have to pay, but only 30 nanodollars, the car is 10 nanodollars a day. The time of opening and closing the park is also set by sunrise and sunset. You are not allowed to go out after sunset. It is found that you have to pay attention. The road in the park is relatively simple, there are not many forks, you can easily play with the park map, just entering the door to see various animals, we are like Liu Wei who just entered the Grand View Garden, amazed. In fact, the herbivores will see you vomiting in the back, because the number is too much, you can see everywhere, the carnivores are more difficult to see, like fox wolf is relatively common carnivores, sorry, we disturbed, we are passing by, you do not be angry. Driving in the park to watch animals, can only stay in the car, animals have been used to the car, generally do not disturb the car, but do not get off the car, this is prohibited in the park, not only to be fined, but also quite dangerous, because you do not know where the lion came out, Be careful. The best time to watch animals is before 10 am and after 4 pm. The noon time is too big because the sun is too big, and animals are not willing to come out to bask in the sun. Less than 100 kilometers from Okaukuejo to Halali Camp, there are a lot of wildlife in the middle of these two camps, and you can see a lot of them on the main road, and many of them are also very interesting. In fact, in Etosha Park
