Etosha Pan lookout (west)
Etosha Nationalpark, Namibia
This viewpoint is in the central part of Etosha, north of Okaukuejo Camp on the Etosha Pan.
What you can experience here
Drive to the viewpoint on the edge of the Etosha Pan and enjoy the view of an endless expanse stretching all the way to the horizon. Behind you the golden grasses sway while you gaze out over a landscape that, millions of years ago, was a vast inland lake.
You cannot walk directly onto the pan from this viewpoint, but you can still experience its incredible size. The surface is made up of salt and clay, which gives the landscape its distinctive pale colouring. The name "Etosha" – in the Ovambo language "great white place" – fits this scenery perfectly.
