Private Tour of Etosha National Park for Exhilarating, Energetic Safaris

Etosha National Park, Namibia on a private tour and you can enjoy exhilarating and energetic safari tours. The large salt pan that makes this national park unique in Africa is so vast it can be seen from space.

The shimmering green and white open expanse that is the Etosha Pan is approximately 130 km in length and 50 km wide in some areas. Not surprising, it is Africa’s largest salt pan. What was once a lake is now this salt pan due to the change in the world's climate.

Rainwater pools approximately 10 cm deep form during the wet season in the pan and this draws migrating flamingos. Etosha National Park is Namibia’s only known mass breeding ground for Flamingos with over a million of them at times.

The Etosha Pan was discovered by Europeans Charles Andersson and Francis Galton in 1851 when they visited the wild region with Ovambo traders. “Great White Place” is the loose English translation of Etosha in the Ovambo language.
