| ID notes: | A cattlepost is a seasonal kraal. Cattleposts were mapped to determine the extent of settlement on/near to the |
| | boundary of Etosha & around Efoetalala (proposed holding camp). The Wildlife Protection Service of the |
| | Directorate of Resource Management collected GPS points and recorded data onto information sheets which were |
| | inputted into the GIS by NNEP. Other sources of data: DRM Okaukeujo, NNEP & DRM staff, Ongwediva. |

| | The eastern half of ENP boundary was last updated in May 1999 and the western half in July 1999. |
