Day 10 Monday 11th July: Okaukuejo Camp, Etosha

Day 10 started very early with lions roaring very close by. It was 4.30am and while we all were woken only Charles was brave enough to wrap up warmly and head down to the floodlit waterhole. In time to see four lions arrive to drink.

On the early morning game drive the team witnessed two big Kalahari male lions chasing another male away from their kill. An hour or two later as stories were told we had a Monday morning ‘cook-up’breakfast….. fried eggs, scrambled eggs, mushrooms, sausages, bacon, Ivy’s homemade marmalade and toast.

A quiet day followed, culminating in the team getting together again for sun downers at the waterhole. We have become a little blasé about the game we see. At one stage just as the sun was setting, there were 3 elephants, 3 giraffe, a black rhino and a jackal all drinking together; what a fantastic Monday!
