Protecting this astonishingly large natural feature is the Etosha National Park of approximately 22000 square kilometres.

Etosha National Park has herds of some of the largest elephants in Southern Africa, is famous for its significant numbers of endangered black rhino and is also the home of giraffe, Hartmann’s mountain zebra and many types of antelope. On the plains it is not uncommon to see thousands of Springbok, while the roan antelope and red hartebeest are not as likely to be seen.
