Etosha is built around a vast salt pan, and in the dry season animals concentrate at a small number of waterholes, making self-drive game viewing unusually productive. Elephant, lion, rhino and large herds of springbok and zebra are all regular. Several camps have floodlit waterholes that can be watched all night.
