Now Thats a Birds Nest

This was one of the birds nests at our Okaukuejo camp, and a close up view of it. The birds all fly in from the underside.

Zebra Tracks

Our last camp in Etosha National Park was at Okaukuejo, early in the morning a long line of Zebras would come by on the way to the water hole.

First Zebras, Then Come the Elephants

Etosha National Park is so large that we traveled more than one hundred miles with our heads out the roof of the truck on our own personal game drive. Zebras coming from three directions converged on this water hole. At one point there were over 500 Zebras and then came the Elephants. Two Elephants came out of the brush to chase the Zebras away from the water hole and after getting tired of their game they just left. Our trucked was surrounded by barking Zebras, hundreds of them, and they do make a sound like a dog barking. Our driver pointed out that the Elephants never took a drink there as the as the water was in a concrete pool and the Elephants can't reach the water, they can't bend that far down.

Water Hole, Camp Okaukuejo

Our second camp in Etosha was Camp Okaukuejo, the long drive to get here from Camp Namatoni was a great game drive. Our truck had a hatch above each seat so you could stand on your seat with your head out the roof for a great view. The water hole always had a lot of wildlife even Rhinos which we saw very seldom in other parks. In the morning hundreds of Zebras filed past our tents on the way to the water hole.
