Fairy Tale Forest (Etosha)
The Fairy Tale Forest (Afrikaans: sprokieswoud) is a section of Etosha National Park in Kunene Region, Namibia, near Grünewald Farm. It is an open forest of Moringa ovalifolia ("Fairy tale trees").[1]
The largest concentration of Moringa ovalifolia in the world, the forest is 2 km x 2 km in size and is located on a limestone plain covered with sweetgrass. The park's trees have often been damaged by elephant herds in the past, but are now protected from them.[2]
