East to West across Etosha National Park, Namibia

Photography by Valji Varia Exploring the wilderness, salt pans and waterholes of Etosha National Park, Namibia Etosha National Park First established in 1907 the Etosha salt pan desert dominates the park and briefly fills with water in the summer, attracting pelicans and flamingo. In the dry season winds blow over the hyper saline conditions of the pan and carries minerals to the soil downwind. Animals concentrate around waterholes in these challenging conditions and such congregations offer exceptional opportunities to observe animal behaviour. Wildlife highlights: Elephant, lion, black rhino, black-faced impala
