Etosha National Park was proclaimed as Namibia’s first conservation area in 1907 by the then German government.  At that stage it covered a vast area of 93,240 km² and was then the largest game reserve in the world. Of the 114 mammals species found in the park several are rare and endangered, such as the black rhino, cheetah and black-faced impala. Dinner and overnight at Onguma Tented Camp. (B) (L) (D)
