Etosha Safari Camp is located nearby to the Okaukuejo entrance to Etosha National Park. Etosha National Park is the gateway to Northern Namibia and Ovamboland. It is Namibia’s prime wildlife location and home to a large variety of mammals and birds. Etosha means the ‘great white area‘ this refers to large dried pan in the middle of the Etosha Park.
The Etosha Pan is a vast, bare, open expanse of shimmering green and white that covers around almost a quarter of the beautiful national park. It is comfortably the largest salt pan in Africa and is the park’s most distinctive and dramatic feature, visible even from space. The pan was originally a lake but over time the earth’s climate forced the rivers that once fed the lake to change course and flow into the Atlantic Ocean. If one were to try find where the lake once lay today, only the dry baked alkaline clay marks would give you a clue.
While at in Etosha, guests will be wild camping. “Wild camping” means that a camp is set up in the bush/desert with shared ablution facilities. All meals are prepared on an open fire and 2.5m dome tents with a bedroll and sleeping bag are used for accommodation.
