🔥 Veld Fire– Park Remains Safe for Visitors

Round about 34% of Etosha National Park has burnt. But around 50% of actual grazing area has been destroyed by the fires. A veld fire that spread from a nearby farm earlier this week has burned grazing land in parts of the park. Fire teams, with support from the NDF, police, and volunteers, have brought several sections under control, while smaller fires are still being monitored near Dolomite and between Olifantbad and Halali.

Importantly, no wildlife casualties have been reported as of yet, and visitor areas, lodges, and main roads remain safe. Authorities continue working to protect animals, infrastructure, and grazing areas. Guests are encouraged to remain cautious during the dry season, when fire risks are high.
