Itinerary
Etosha National Park, located in northern Namibia, has a rich and fascinating history that dates back thousands of years. The region was originally inhabited by indigenous groups such as the San and Herero peoples, who relied on the park’s water sources and abundant wildlife for survival.
The name "Etosha" comes from the Oshiwambo word meaning "Great White Place," referring to the vast, salt-encrusted Etosha Pan that dominates the landscape. This ancient lakebed, which was once a thriving body of water, has long been a central feature of the park’s ecosystem.
In the late 19th century, the area became known to European explorers, and by the early 20th century, German colonial authorities began to show interest in the land. In 1907, the German colonial government officially established a game reserve. The park was formally recognized as a national park, and it remains a cornerstone of Namibia’s wildlife conservation efforts and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
