The flat grasslands and savannahs surrounding the great Etosha Salt Pan, within Etosha National Park in northern Namibia is home to many of Africa’s amazing animals. During the wet season the lush grass allows many animals to graze, with various antelope the most common to animals to come across.

Oryx, the national animal of Namibia, were my favourite antelope with their black and white faces and amazing antlers.

Steenbok were the smallest antelopes we came across and were quick to hop away whenever a vehicle came near.

We saw impala all throughout the park and they were always found in large herds.

These two male Impala spent several minutes with their antlers locked in a fight. I’m not sure either of them won the fight as they both just wander off to graze when their antlers were finally separated.

Etosha was the only place we saw a Red Hartebeest and luckily she was travelling with a baby.

Springbok were another very common antelope within the park and we would often have to slow down on the roads to let the Springbok cross the road and decide which side of the road they wanted to graze on.

Wildebeest were one of the largest antelope we saw and came in small herds, often with a baby or two following along behind.
