Etosha

Etosha is a national park in northwestern Namibia, getting its name from the large Etosha salt pan. Etosha, meaning “great white place”, provides a dramatic backdrop as a home to hundreds of animal species including threatened wildlife like the Black Rhinoceros. They have to cope with climatic extremes, as  the savannah desert climate of the region brings minimal rainfall and pushes  large numbers of animals around waterholes, both natural and manmade. The vast bare, white landscape and the dust carried by the wind casts a surreal atmosphere and highlights its inhabitants in a unique colour.
