Yesterday
afternoon, we went for our usual afternoon game drive. Unfortunately
we didn't find any cheetah but we did find some cute babies, a
giraffe and an elephant.
We
also found a new animal, a dik dik.
Otherwise
it was the usual suspects.
This
morning we took four hours to drive the 130 klms to Okaukuejo where
we are now staying in a “waterhole chalet”, so called because it
is adjacent to the waterhole immediately outside the resort compound.
As I sat down to type this, I was distracted by two elephants
arriving at the waterhole.
Along
the way, we stopped on the Etosha Pan for some trick photography. It
is a salt pan 4732 square kilometres in area.
When
we arrived about two hours ago, the resort waterhole was crowded with
zebra, springbok and gemsbok.
Our
new animals for today were rhino, hyena and red hartebeest. We have
now completed the big five.
Along
the way, we also saw numerous zebra, wildebeest, ostrich, springbok,
giraffes and a lion and lioness – a routine day's drive around
here.
