Etosha National Park

Kunene & Oshikoto regions, northern Namibia

Mid-range
nature

Africa’s easiest self-drive Big Four park: a 120 km salt pan ringed by floodlit waterholes where black rhino, elephants and lions queue at dusk. Camp inside at Okaukuejo’s waterhole benches, drive the dolomite hills of the west, and let the pan’s mirages do the scenery.

Right now: Dry season — typically driest Jun.
