description Etosha Pan Overview
Etosha Pan is a broad, seasonally dry salt pan in northern Namibia and the central geographic feature of Etosha National Park. The pale, nearly level surface occupies a former lake basin and is usually dry, although exceptional rainfall can produce shallow temporary water. Its open terrain and surrounding waterholes influence wildlife distribution in the park, which also protects savanna, woodland, and other habitats around the pan.
