 National parks of Namibia

Namibia already has 26 national parks and reserves. They can be found in rhinos, elephants, spotted hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, foxes, earth wolves, wild African cats, gazelles, zebras, ostriches, baboons, antelopes, and over 600 species of birds. The most popular and visited parks of the country: Etosha National Park and the Waterberg Plateau, but other parks are of no less interest to tourists.

Etosha National Park is one of the largest in Africa. Etosha stands for "A great white place of dried water". And this name is completely justified, because before the eyes of tourists there is a huge salt basin, which during the rainy season is filled with water and turns into a lake. There is probably the largest variety of animals and birds that can be found in Namibia: 340 bird species, 114 mammal species and 110 species of reptiles.
