Etosha Game Park, Namibia
The park’s main characteristic is a salt pan so large it can be seen from space and is the most distinctive feature of the park. It is believed that it was formed over 100 million years ago and is 130 km long and up to 50 km wide in certain places. This means that the pan covers almost a quarter of the entire park!
