Road Map of the Etosha National Park
Overall Rating: 3 Stars
Map Accuracy: 5 Stars
Scale: 3cm = 50km
The Road Map of Etosha National Park is a simple and adequate
map. The map is hand drawn, filled in with shaded colors that
look as if they have been drawn with crayons. The road infrastructure
within Etosha is not complex and, given the expanse of the park,
there are relatively few roads. Waterholes, rest camps, and other
facilities are clearly marked and easy to identify. Each section
of road is posted with the distance between intersections in kilometers.
The map is decorated with a multitude of hand drawn animals. There
are two cutouts in the map, one a map showing the vegetation zones
within the park and another showing Etosha's location relative
to the rest of Namibia. At the bottom of the map there is a handy
kilometer chart, giving the distances between Etosha and the major
cities around the country. The back of the Map is filled with
a generous amount of information on Etosha. It has sections detailing
the geography of the park, landmarks, prime game viewing areas,
animals, vegetation, and rest camps. The sections are brief and
succinct, but do provide useful information. The Road Map of Etosha
National Park is a quality map, however, most of the information
can be found in guidebooks and other resources the traveler may
already posses.
