User:Amstokundu/Etosha National Park
History
[edit]Etosha was first established in 1907, when Namibia was a German colony known as South West Africa. At the time, the park’s original 100,000 km² (38,500 mile²) made it the largest game reserve in the world. Due to political changes since its original establishment, the park is now slightly less than a quarter of its original area, but still remains a very large and significant area in which wildlife is protected.The EtoshaNationalPark encompasses an area,the size of New Jersey,with the primary feature being a pan.==References==
