Fischer's Pan
A small salt pan northeast of Namutoni; after the rains it fills with water and attracts flamingos and pelicans, and the loop road offers antelope and giraffes
Fischer's Pan is a satellite salt lake on the eastern side of the great Etosha Pan. It is several dozen kilometers around, with a gravel loop road passing waterholes including Twee Palms. After the rains the lake fills, attracting flamingos, pelicans and many wading birds. In the dry season the lake bed dries out, but the grassy shores still host springbok, wildebeest, zebra and giraffes. A loop from Namutoni camp takes about 1.5–2 hours, and parts of the road may close when wet and slippery.
