With more than 22,000 km² Etosha National Park is the fourth largest game park in Africa. Jam-packed with wildlife, it is the shining gem in Namibia’s crown. Salt pans form the heart of the park and these are surrounded by sparse scrubs and grassy plains that become hilly mopane woodlands as you move away from the pans. Etosha Pans cover nearly a fifth of the park and is fringed with natural springs that attract a cross section of African wildlife from the diminutive – and endemic – Damara dik-dik to the magnificent elephant. Consisting of saline desert, savannah and woodlands, its definitive feature is the Etosha Pan, a vast, shallow depression of approximately 5000 km². For the greater part of the year the pan is a bleak expanse of white, cracked mud which, on most days, shimmers with mirages. Seeing vast herds of game against this eerie backdrop, referred to as the "great white place of dry water", makes the Etosha game viewing experience unique. The pan is part of the Kalahari Basin, the floor of which was formed around 1000 million years ago. The Etosha Pan covers around 25% of the National Park. The pan was originally a lake fed by the Kunene River. However the course of the river changed thousands of years ago and the lake dried up. The pan is now a large dusty depression of salt and dusty clay which fills only if the rains are heavy and even then only holds water for a short time. This temporary water in the Etosha Pan attracts thousands of wading birds including impressive flocks of flamingos. The perennial springs along the edges of the Etosha Pan draw large concentrations of wildlife and birds. A San legend about the formation of the Etosha Pan tells of how a village was raided and everyone but the women slaughtered. One woman was so upset about the death of her family she cried until her tears formed a massive lake. When the lake dried up nothing was left apart from a huge white pan. Of the 114 mammal species found in the park, several are rare and endangered, such as black rhino, cheetah and black faced impala. Other large mammals in Etosha National Park include giraffe, blue wildebeest, mountain and plains zebra, hyena and lion. Cheetah and leopard complete the trio of big cats. Antelope species range from kudu, gemsbok and the large and stately eland, to the tiny Damara dik-dik . Smaller mammals include jackal, bat eared foxes, honey badger and warthog. About 340 bird species occur in Etosha, about one third being migratory, including the European Bee-eater. Larger birds include Common Ostrich, Kori Bustard, Greater and Lesser Flamingoes, tens of thousands of which congregate on the pans during the rainy season. Raptors are common and include Lappet-faced, White-backed and Hooded Vultures, whilst sightings of the Cape, Egyptian and Palm-nut Vultures have been recorded. There are eight species of owls in Etosha including Pearl-spotted Owlet, White-faced Owl and four species of night jar.
