Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park is a national park in North-western Namibia. Covering an area of 22,270km, the park gets its name from the vast Etosha pan which is almost entirely within the park.
The Etosha pan covers 23% of the total area of the National Park and is home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds, and reptiles, including several endangered species such as the back rhinoceros.
As one of southern Africa’s most sought after wildlife travel destinations, Etosha National Park will satisfy even the most seasoned safari lover. Big game concentrates around the waterholes, making for exceptional game viewing. You may even be fortunate enough to view lion, elephant, rhino, antelope, and zebra right from your rest camp!
Sossusvlei
Sossusvlei is a salt and clay pan nestled between high red dunes. It is located in the southern part of the Namib Desert, in the Namib-Naukluft National Park of Namibia. The name “Sossusvlei” is often used to describe the surrounding area, which is one of the major visitor attractions of Namibia. Sossusvlei translates to “dead-end marsh”, perfectly describing the place where the dunes come together and form a block to the Tsauchab River.
The dunes in the area are some of the tallest in the world, with some reaching near 400 meters. During particularly rainy seasons, the Tsauchab fills the pan and forms a breath-taking lake, which becomes a spectacular natural sight.
The attractions surrounding Sossusvlei are easily accessible from the area.
