Etosha

Namibia 18.86° S, 16.33° E

Etosha is a salt pan so large it shows from space, ringed by waterholes that pull in everything for a hundred miles in the dry season.

You do not chase animals here. You pick a waterhole, turn the engine off and wait for the day to come to you.

Etosha, up close.

  • The dry season

    From June the bush thins and the waterholes fill with elephant, giraffe, lion and black rhino, sometimes all at once.

  • Your own camp

    Eight guests at most, a cook, a tracker and no neighbours. The camp moves when you do.

  • The sky

    There is no town for hours in any direction. The Milky Way throws a shadow.
