Etosha is up there with the world’s best game viewing destinations. It’s famous for its vast salt pan (which is so large you can apparently see it from space). The waterholes around it attract all kinds of animals: spend time next to any and just wait for the lions, elephants and springboks to appear.
You’ll also find a number of private conservancies next to the national park. These give you the best of both worlds: game drives plus the opportunity to escape the crowds and venture off the beaten path.
