Day 32 to 35 ( 17th to 20th August 2015 )

Max insists on asking fellow travellers and locals the conditions of the road, and more often than not their response will be OKAY or GOOD but, somehow the OKAY and GOOD turned out to be the most terrible conditions imaginable. We found ourselves crawling along at 20km an hour. Etosha consists of 3 main camps namely Okaukuejo to the west Halali in the centre and Namutoni to the East.

We spent the next 4 days travelling through the park stopping at waterholes and spending our nights camping at all 3 camps. At Okaukuejo camp the waterhole with Black Rhino, Giraffe and Jackal was certainly a highlight. There is a superb viewing point from the hill in Halali camp at Moringa waterhole where we were saw by Gemsbok, Blackfaced Impala and another Black Rhino. On our drive to Namutoni at Goas water point we were entertained by a herd of about 50 Elephant. Just before entering the camp we spotted 3 Lion at  Fishers Pan. As in the past we don’t leave without connecting with fellow travellers and in this case it was the Krause family from Nuremburg , Gary and Maryke from Focus-for-Africa and Brenda and Peter that certainly made a lasting impression.

We depart from Etosha satisfied, we certainly had a great experience but the road was not OKAY and the amount of dust this time of the year is just too impossible to describe.
