The Etosha National Park, is one of the largest parks in
Africa, consisting of 22 270km of saline desert, savannah
and woodlands. There are 114 mammal species found in the
park, of which several are rare and endangered, such as
black rhino and black faced impala. Etosha's current population
of approximately 300 animals represents one of the few growing
populations in the world.
About 340 bird species found in the park, of which approximately
one third are migratory, including the European bee-eater
and several species of waders. For the greater part of the
year, Etosha's animals and birds are dependent on about
30 springs and waterholes. This provides excellent game
viewing and photographic opportunities.
The Namutoni Environment Centre is 10km from the rest camp.
The centre provides you an additional knowledge and awareness
of Namibia's natural environment, and to promote the idea
of sustainable utilization of the country's natural resources.
