1/15/2003
: We arrived at Etosha in our rent-a-car, and we arranged two nights camping in the park. Etosha was full of wildlife, but we were disappointed to learn that, ultimately, the park is no more than a huge fenced off area surrounded by farms. Still, the fence is there more to keep wildlife out than it is to keep them in.
