We get an early start this morning as we want to get into the game park and do some game viewing. We skip breakfast and head off at 6:40 AM - we will have breakfast in the park. We arrive at the park at 8AM and after formalities at the gate we head towards Namutoni campsite. We take two hours there to have lunch and to relax.
After packing everything away, we head off on our game drive shortly after 10AM. We are heading west towards the campsite that we will stay at tonight. Along the way, we see plenty of game, including: Springbok, giraffe, ...
... a zebra mother with her colt, ostrich, ...
... wildebeest, a marshall eagle up in a tree, gemsbok, a bustard, damara dik dik, a goshawk and a black-backed jackal. We arrived at Okaukuejo campsite at 2:15 PM and after we set up our tents, we had a bite to eat. The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing and hanging around the campsite. We worked on our journals.
Before dinner, we headed over to the spot lit water hole for the sunset and to see if we could see any game. We were treated to a very nice sunset and as we watched the sun go down, ...
... a group of zebra showed up for a drink of water. It was quite a sight to see them approach the water hole slowly and carefully. They were very skittish, but once they perceived no danger, they lined up at the water's edge to drink. We headed back to the campsite for dinner.
After dinner, we headed back to the water hole, but there was not too much to see. There is still lots of water around, so the game do not have to come to this artificial water hole - best time is the dry season when there are no other water holes nearby.
