Now in Ethosha National Park which is a former lake long since dried up but which has lots of water holes in the remaining salt pan hence an ideal oppprtunity to view lots of wildlife. We have so far seen elephant (including a herd of 26), kudu, springbok, giraffe, Jackal, Kori Bustard, Crane, Falcons, Eland and mongoose. We have yet to see any cats apart from an enormous weasel! There are Lion, Leopard and Cheetah here so we hope to see some soon. There is a log of sightings in reception and a pride of six lion has been seen near here recently so maybe tommorrow we will be lucky. I have some good photos (have taken around 400 already!) but I think I will have to do a photo highlights page until we get to South Africa where I can get a fast internet connection. Even internet cafes in Namibia have relatively slow links.
It is incredibly dry and dusty here but still quite cold at night. We are waking at dawn and going to bed about 7pm! Best way to see the animals. I am getting a good suntan (although more on one side than the other from being in the vehicle so much!). I am also growing a beard and becoming very unkempt and very ‘frontier’!
Hopefully I will do the photo highlights page in the next couple of days…
