Etosha National Park tours take you to salt pans, floodlit waterholes for elephants, lions, and rhinos, and nearby Himba villages to learn local traditions and taste traditional dishes. "Etosha" translates to "Place of Mirages", "Land of Dry Water", or the "Great White Place", and covers 22,270 square kilometers of land. This aptly named national park in the heart of Namibia is also home to the endemic black-faced impala. There are 100+ mammals and 300+ bird species that can be spotted here. Game drives and hikes will take you to the watering holes and across popular trails, where this majestic wildlife can be spotted up close in its most natural environment.
