This morning we made our way to Etosha National Park and arrived around lunch time. Within 20m of driving into the park we saw our first Giraffe... very cool!!!
Our campsite was only about 150m from a waterhole and this was amazing. Whilst sitting here writing postcards we were spoiled by the company of, firstly, 3 rather large bull Elephants having a drink and then 2 herds of Elephants came to join them. The 2 herds were breeding herds as well, so they had a few baby Elephants with them.
Later in the afternoon we went on a game drive. During this 2 hour drive we saw lots of Kudu, Springbok, and Oryx. We also saw a number of Giraffe’s and a Lion!
After dinner, we ventured down to the waterhole again and were completely blown away when we noticed a Black Rhinoceros and its calf at the waterhole having a drink. Not long after they were joined by yet another herd of Elephants with calves in tow....and then a herd of 5 Rhino’s joined the waterhole later. Watching the scene before us was mesmerising... despite the cold!!
