Afternoon game drive through Etosha NP

Once we got there, we checked in, were allocated our pitch, and put up our tents. The campsite was very busy with lots of families on holiday. The southern Africans certainly know how to camp! They have very elaborate set ups. Having so many people around us was definitely going to make for a noisy night, though.

Having set up, we left Henry to prepare our meal and went out on a game drive to a couple of nearby waterholes. They do have artificial waterholes in Etosha, but everything else is as nature intended. We had a successful late afternoon/evening and saw:
