Etosha National Park - Namibia, Africa

Although best known for its salt pan, don't ignore Etosha National Park 's less visited savannah and woodland habitats.  You may just be treated to the sight of dueling zebras.

Etosha is an 8000 square mile treasure, hosting 114 species of mammals, 340 species of birds and 110 species of reptiles.  In summer, rains turn the salt pan into a mecca for pelicans, flamingos and other birds.  Gemsbok, zebra and wildebeest are also drawn to the shallow waters.

The park has east and west entry gates and three camps: Namutoni, Halali and Okaukuejo.
