Sunday Driving - Etosha National Park, Namibia

Be prepared to share the road while driving in Etosha.

Very wide load... (Loxodonta africana)

Very narrow load...(Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa).

Etosha Factoids of the day.

Etosha National Park was established by German occupiers in 1907. Originally the size of the park was 100,000 sq. km. Due to "political pressure", the park was reduced to its current size of 22,270 sq. km.

"The Park is home to 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 110 reptile species, 16 amphibian species and, surprisingly, one species of fish".

I must report no sightings of fish in the park.
