Hi Hennie,

Thanks for sharing! Last time I was in Etosha was back in 2004 :cry: I might do a short (business ;) )trip to northern Namibia early 2011... Fingers crossed.
Doesn't Etosha mean 'Great white place of water'? Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers, Hans

Hi Hennie,

Welcome! Nice Elephants!

Just checked the meaning of Etosha in Google. Multiple answers....

http://www.google.nl/search?hl=en-GB&q= ... 8&ie=UTF-8

Great White Place, Place of dry Water etc. Most results list 'Great White Place'. Guess all will be fine as long as it's white, open, space and very dry....

Cheers
Marco
