Safari & Wildlife 

Namibia's Etosha National Park is approximately 22 000 square kilometres in size and forms a huge salt pan surrounded by flat bushland. The water-holes, scattered throughout this area, are the basis of life for countless game including Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Giraffe and Zebra. Particularly numerous are the dainty springbok, of which at least 30,000 specimen's can be found at Etosha, and they are observed in large herds.

Namibia is one of the most arid regions in Africa. Precipitation in many parts of the country usually stays far below 500 mm per annum. The extensive sand dunes of the Namib Desert, naked of any vegetation and up to 300 kilometres wide, stretch along the whole length of the coast. To the east of this coastal desert belt, a mountain range, strongly fissured and with sparse plant-life, rises up to 2000 metres and more. Further east, the mountain ranges gradually lower into a vast plateau. Here, the landscape is characterised by endless 'thornvelds' and open bushland.
