Etosha National Park – June 12th – 13th

Etosha National Park  is 20,000 sq km/7,722 sq m and contains 114 mammal species and 340 bird species.  The first Europeans arrived at Etosha in 1851, but the land wasn’t protect until the early 20^th century.   At that time almost 100,000 sq km/38,610 sq m were put under reserve statues, but the park boundaries have been altered and it has been at the current size since 1970.

We spent two days in Etosha National Park.  We got to see four female lions, many giraffes and elephants, and tons of the little guys like springbok, zebras, jackals, impalas, kudos.  Our lodging also had a watering hole which was a great place to watch for other animals.  We got to see more lions, elephants, and some rhinos there.
