Be still my heart, I feel like I am living in Nat Geo World!
The gates to a whole new world....
I will never forget as we drove through Anderson Gate and had signed in, John turned to me and said "Right where are the animals", and as I turned I could see a kudu buck standing off to my side, springbok and then just ahead was a lone giraffe. It was so fast and amazing neither of us grabbed the camera, to show our age, it was just before the digital camera phase.
The first camp isn't far from the gate and called Okaukuejo. This was some of the accommodation, it was basic but more than adequate. It was self catering with a brai area outside that we made use of. All the camps have had major overhauls and look even better.
Since we were here to see wildlife.....here it is
Yep this girl has a belly full of paws.
Out on the pan.
How cool to see so many different animals. The guide book was so well written you could not miss them.
How lucky were we to see a heard of elephants on their way to the waterhole.
If you look closely you might see a tiny bubba tucked under its mumma.
About to settle in for sundowners and game viewing at Halali Camp.
After a few nights we moved to Halali, the camp in the middle. It was smaller and had less facilities, however the game viewing overlooking the waterhole was said to be special. As you arrived at the camp, a huge elephant skull sans tusks greeted you.
There is that sunset.
Here is some current info on the park http://www.etoshanationalpark.org/
