A direct translation of the word Etosha into the English language means Great White Place, a fitting description of the vast ancient white, salt pans in the Kalahari Basin of southern Africa. The floor of this huge basin is made up of dry, dusty clay and salt and seldom sees water and then for only brief periods of time and has been dated at more than a billion years old.

As such an ancient remnant of Africa, this area has always been home to a variety of impressive animal- and plant life. Some of the fauna that have made their home here include zebra, rhino (black and white), cheetah, leopard, caracal, elephant, kudu, wildebeest and giraffe, amongst many, many others. In addition, the prolific birdlife presents species numbering almost 400. Eagles, vultures and even the endangered blue crane soar above Etosha, gracing visitors with their majestic beauty and power.

Salt pans of this size are rare in the world and one of the places a person can view and experience one of them is at the Etosha National Park in Namibia, Africa, which covers an impressive 22 000 square kilometres. Most tour packages offered by the tourism industry of Namibia offer packages that include a visit to this awe inspiring natural wonderland.

Tourists will delight in the stunning perennial springs that border the pan, which lure a variety of stunning animals, including an impressive array of birds. Travellers are advised to visit the salt pans during the period between May and September, when it is cooler. Stunning watering holes are lit during the evenings and early mornings so that the unique mix of animals that drink and cool down during these times are clearly visible to discreet onlookers.

The Etosha National Park has three camps, all with the tourist facilities that one can expect from a luxury modern game reserve including a restaurant, a shop, a swimming pool, and many more comfortable conveniences.
