| A
land of mirages
The vast
pan that lies at the heart of the Etosha National Park in
Namibia is a place of limitless horizons. This dusty
depression is a stark, flat wilderness of sun-baked clay and
minerals that covers over 6000 square kilometers. The
name Etosha is derived from the native Ovambo language, and
has been translated as 'Place of Dry Water' or 'Great White
Place'. |
