We have been in Etosha now for 9 days staying at each of the three camps. It is a simply stunning place to see game.
For example we have seen:
* Herd of 26 Elephant at Kalkhuewl
* A lone Lioness eating a giraffe carcass at Klein Namutoni
* Literally hundreds of Zebra crossing the track at Okerfontein
* An African Wild Cat at Kalkhuewl which jumped into the air from the top of an Acacia to catch birds
* 20 Giraffe at Klein Namutoni mouring the death of the one refered to above
* Red hartebeest at Springfontein
* Nyalas (a bit like Kudu) at Goas
* Enormous herds of Black-faced Impala at Goas
* Eland at Goas
* Black Rhino and spotted Hyena at Moringa
* 2 young male Lions at Salvadora hunting Zebra (rather inexpertly!)
* 20 Giraffe at Klein Namutoni mouring the death of the one refered to above
* Enormous herds of Black-faced Impala at Goas
* 30+ Elephant at Rjetfontein
* 5 Black Rhino at Moringa including two suckling calves
* Leopard on the road from Halali to Goas which we watched for around 30 minutes
* 4 Lions near Salvadora on a ridge
* 50+ Oryx (Gemsbok) at Nebrownii
* A Rhino, 3 Lions and an Elelphantall together at Nebrownii
* No less than 9 Rhino and 3 Lions hunting a Giraffewhich escaped (only just!)
* 90-100 Elelphant at the aptly named Olifantsbad
Not a bad roll call eh?!
The photo highlights will have to wait for better bandwidth for upload (probably South Africa in a few weeks time) as even the thumbnails of the highlights are 500 kilobytes and that just isnt practical!
On to the Skeleton Coast soon, more news then….
