The Minister of Environment, Forestry and Tourism says an assessment is underway to determine the full extent of the damage caused by the wildfires in Etosha National Park. 

A wildfire broke out outside Etosha National Park on Monday this week, and it has now entered the southwestern part of the park.

Since its outbreak, the fire has continued to burn with great intensity, fuelled by strong winds and extremely dry vegetation.
