Left Olifantsrus Camp at 6.15 for the long drive to the Far Eastern side of Etosha for our two night stay at Onguma Rest Camp which is actually within a private reserve that ajoins the main park.
Stopped at most of the waterholes on the way and were rewarded at the first with a couple of lions on the prowl.
At onother on the western end it was teaming with all sorts,giraffe, kudu, zebra, wilderbeest, springbok, ostrich and lots of birds. No cats or elephants .
The rest of the way in the hot part of the day we didn’t see much at all
Stopped at Okaukuejo and Halali camps for drinks, lunch and wee wee
At the last waterhole before our camp we were watching some birds giraffe and a warthog when over the brow of the hill came about ten or so elephants for drinks at the hole, again running the last few meters as per the other evening . Great sight sitting and watchimg the antics, swishing water all owner themselves etc
Arrived at camp about 4pm, great site with our own ablutions, wash up area etc. Sat for a couple of ours by ourselves around the pool, one advantage in coming in the “hot” season is that it is very quiet, great!,
Chicken in red wine around the camp fire, not many of these left sadly
