Safari - Etosha National Park - Namibia





Etosha National Park is huge and dry and hot. Most of the animals we found here were at or near the watering holes. There are even a handful of artifical watering holes that are maintained by the park officials in order to ensure there is enough water. We had three game drives here. The morning we arrived, after lunch and the following morning. I got great pictures of elephants, giraffes, happy meals, rhinos, ostrich, zebras, wildabeast, one male lion and a cheetah. I saw two honey badgers that unlike other critters in the park that ignore the tourist vechicles, took off into the trees like lightning. No photos of that one :( We did see a lot of critters here we weren’t able to see at Chobe. The constant heat created mirages of water along nearly every horizen but there was very little water. The wind picked up the sand and dust and you could see dust devils everywhere, some of them quite large. Regardless of the heat and dust, this was a great park for photos and our driver Steve was brilliant at spotting things.
