Namibia
I'm currently in Namibia and having the most wonderful time. I've just spent the last 2 days in the Etosha National Park, which has been one of my absolute highlights of the trip. The animals (and facilities) in the park are just out of this world. The park has a number of natural and artifical waterholes and as it is so hot the animals usually gather at them during the day. I saw a week old elephant baby, lions mating, warthogs, springbock, oronx and a zillion birds.
The absoutly magical thing about Etosha is that when the park is closed (sunset) and you have to return to the fanced camps they have a floodlit water holes that you can quietly sit at and watch all the nocternal animals come and drink (and swim at). I really don't think words can descibe how amazing it was watching black rhinos swimming and fighting, or watching a lepoard creaping out the drink and the poor scared springbock on the other side of the pool just freezing, having no idea what to do. Or watching a black rhino bring dwn her baby to the water and seing them reflected in the pool.
Having such a good time! I hope you are all well and happy!
