After good rains, the salt pans fill with water, creating a stunning spectacle as flocks of flamingos flock to the area. With over 340 bird species recorded in the park, Etosha is a haven for birding enthusiasts. Among the most sought-after migratory species is the European bee-eater, a vibrant and colorful sight.
