Etosha National Park in Namibia was first established in 1907, when Namibia was a German colony known as South West Africa. At the time, the park’s original 100,000 km² (38,500 mile²) made it the largest game reserve in the world. Due to political changes since its original establishment, the park is somewhat less than a quarter of its original size, but still remains a very large and significant area in which wildlife is protected.

The Fish River Canyon is located in Namibia. It is one of the largest canyons in the world (definitely the largest in Africa), as well as the second most visited tourist attraction in Namibia. It features a gigantic ravine, in total about 100 mi (160 km) long, up to 27 km wide and in places almost 550 metres deep.

The newest of Etosha's camps, Halali is situated approximately halfway between the other two - 75 km from Namutoni and 70 km from Okaukuejo - northwest of the landmark Tweekoppies. Halai tends to be the quietest of the three camps.

Namib-Naukluft National Park is an ecological preserve in the Namib Desert in southwest Africa, thought to be Earth’s oldest desert. The park is the largest game park in Africa, and a surprising collection of creatures manages to survive in the hyper-arid region, including snakes, geckos, unusual insects, hyenas, and jackals.

Okaukuejo is the administrative center for Etosha National Park in Namibia. It is approximately 409 miles from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.

The Skeleton Coast (German: Skelettküste) is the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia and south of Angola from the Kunene River south to the Swakop River, although it is sometimes used to describe the entire Namib Desert coast. The Bushmen of the Namibian interior called it the region "The Land God Made in Anger", while Portuguese sailors once referred to it as "The Gates of Hell".

Sossusvlei is a salt pan in the central Namib Desert, lying within the Namib-Naukluft National Park. Fed by the Tsauchab River, it is known for the high, red sand dunes which surround it, forming a major sand sea.

The word “Etosha” means the Great White Place or Place of Emptiness, describing the vast salt pan. There are three tourist camps in the park: Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni.

In 1907 Von Lindequist, Governor of the then German South West Africa (the entrance near Namutoni was named after him) declared an area of 99 526 km2 as a game park. This area included the present reserve as well as the pans. The park’s borders have since been changed a number of times, and became known as the Etosha National Park in 1958. In 1970 it was reduced to its present size.

Waterberg National Park is a national park in central Namibia on the Waterberg Plateau, 68 km east of Otjiwarongo. It was the site of one of the major turning points in Namibia's History. It was at Waterberg, in the foothills, that the Herero people lost their last and greatest battle against German Colonial forces at the beginning of the 20th century.
