MONDAY 21ST - NAMUTONI - ETOSHA



As anticipated, today was an exercise in game driving. This time it was done in The Beast so, by comparison with Moremi, in considerable comfort.

Cheetah apparently frequent this area so the challenge is to find one. Unfortunately we haven't yet done so but have discovered some animals we haven't previously crossed paths with.



Namutoni is a camping and accommodation resort surrounded by a large fence with a very substantial gate at the entrance, no doubt to keep the lions out that we hear roaring at night. We haven't seen them yet. If you look carefully at the photo, you can see a herd of Zebra drinking at the water hole just outside the resort fence.

Tomorrow we spend the day in the National Park but driving 134 klms to our next destination Okaukuejo where we will again spend two nights. The park covers an area of almost 23,000 square kilometres so we will only be seeing a very small portion of it.

The animals that we have seen here and not previously encountered are:

Wildebeest

 

Springbok

 


Gemsbok

 

Jackal


 

Ostrich
