Camp Shower

This was the shower near my tent, you walked up a couple steps into a tree and when when you turned on the water it came down from above like rain. There was hot water also, a big plus. The toilet was back in some bushes and when you pulled a chain it flushed. We saw a lot of Elephants and Hippos during the day, in fact, it was like a wildlife stage show just across the river. During the night I heard Hippos on our side of the river and even heard some get out of the water on our side, being as big as they are they are not stealthy getting in and out of the water. It was still dark when I headed to the restroom and of course you shine the flashlight around checking for animals, in this case Hippos, before leaving the tent. None were visible even though I had heard them earlier. When I left the bathroom I again turned on the flashlight to check and was shocked to see two eyes shining out of the dark looking right at me. It took several seconds to realize it wasn't a Hippo but was the camp dog that had just followed me.

Camp at Ngepi, Namibia

This was a great camp with nice big grassy area and great bathrooms right across the river from Angola. There were a lot of Elephants playing on the far bank, they would go in the water and spray themselves with water then go up the dusty bank and spray themselves with dirt. Also lots of Hippos in the river.
The Ngepi Camp is famous for its bathrooms. There were several surrounded by 12 foot tall bamboo slat fences, one was labeled the Throne Room and inside the toilet was on top of a bank of dirt giving a view over the fence. In one you entered a maze that had men go one direction and women go the other direction, both mazes entered the same area and there was a pink toilet with the seat locked down with a padlock labeled "woman" and another toilet next to it with the seat locked in the up position labeled "men".
