Etosha Slideshow

Etosha has two distinct seasons: wet and dry. The wet season runs from January to March, during this time the pans usually fill with water and animals give birth. Dry season runs from July to September and is the best time to see wildlife as they gather at waterholes. The 'in between' months are neither wet nor dry and also amazing.

January: Birds flock to the flooded pan - flamingoes can number in the millions. Average temp: 28/20, Average Rainfall: 130mm February: Generally the rainiest month, wildlife is no longer restricted to a few waterholes, the massive herds of game disperse and animals give birth.
