Its quite astonishing to think that the Etosha pan is visible even from space! It speaks volumes for the sheer vastness of this destination as a whole……
Largely untouched by modern man, Namibia is a land of vast quietness, endless horizons, wide star-studded skies, golden deserts and intriguing rocky plains….. And of course, the Etosha Pan. This vast, open expanse of shimmering white covers around 4,800km². That is close to a 1/4 of the whole of the beautiful Etosha National Park! It is the largest salt pan in Africa. Originally a lake, it is believed to have formed more than 100 million years ago!
Must Do
- Explore the oldest desert on earth, with some of the loftiest sand dunes, colouring from pale apricot to deepest red.
- Watch the enchanting springbok dancing across the mirage-shimmering Etosha Pan.
- Spend a delightful day in the quaint seaside town of Swakopmund, the adventure capital of Namibia and starting point for trips up and down the coast.
- Stand awe-struck by the Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world.
- See the mysterious, ancient Bushman/San paintings at Twyfelfontein.
- Marvel at the desert-adapted elephant and rhino in Damaraland.
