The Etosha National Park in the North of Namibia is one of the top venues when you are travelling in Southern Africa. Beside the Kruger National Park in South Africa, the Etosha National Park is definitely the "best" National Park in Southern Africa. But the Parks are not comparable in any case. The landscape, climate and vegetation are very different and due to this the animals are different. If you have the chance visit both parks and you will see what I mean. Etosha is actually turning a 100 years old in 2007.
