| Etosha is known for its pan - an immense, flat, saline desert.
After exceptionally rainy periods, the pan fills with up to a metre (3ft) of water and enormous numbers of flamingoes and pelicans arrive to feed and breed.
We saw the pan when its surface was dry and caked with salty dirt.

| Animals love the Etosha Pan for its salt. They dig it up and even find moist dirt beneath the dry surface. Big Boy demonstrates good digging technique. |
 |
| The fringe of the Pan looks like a seashore; the illusion is made even more complete by the horizon's mirage. |
 |
| If mirages don't mess with your eyes, then zebra stripes will. |

| We stayed at a desert castle built by the Germans in 1904 called Namutoni. |
