Okaukuejo Waterhole - Etosha National Park, Namibia

At Okaukuejo, in Etosha National Park in northern Namibia, a waterhole beside the camp draws elephants, giraffes, zebras, springbok and lions in to drink, often all within a few hours of each other.

Etosha covers about 8,500 square miles (22,000 km²), and roughly a quarter of it is the Etosha Pan, a vast flat salt pan whose name is said to mean "great white place". In the dry season, waterholes like this one become the center of life.

After dark the waterhole is floodlit, and that's when black rhinos tend to arrive, sometimes several at once, gathering at the water in a way they rarely do anywhere else.

Did You Know? When Etosha was first protected in 1907, it covered around 31,000 square miles (80,000 km²) and was the largest game reserve in the world.
