6Etosha National Park, Namibia

Etosha National Park is one of Africa’s most unique wildlife parks, centered around the vast, shimmering Etosha Pan, a salt pan that becomes a magnet for animals during the dry season. This lunar-like landscape transforms as large herds of elephants, zebras, and antelopes gather around waterholes, making wildlife sightings almost guaranteed. Etosha’s landscapes vary from mopane woodlands to grasslands, and the park’s salt pans make for striking photographs. Visitors often spot rhinos and leopards at night, making it a favorite among wildlife photographers.
