Day 11 Tuesday 12th July: Okaukuejo Camp, Etosha

Happy birthday Duncan!

A few people woke up with rather sore heads this morning; the night around the fire turned into lots of revelry!

Today was a day for chilling or driving; Johnny & Michy drove all the way up to Namatoni Camp, which is  the other side of the Etosha pan. Michy says the trip was emotionally overwhelming - seeing the parts of the pan full of water, ‘looked like the sea’ in the middle of the desert. Their trip was well worth the 6 hours it took. Some others visited Halali camp and were equally impressed. It seems that the facilities at all the Etosha camp are well maintained and very accommodating.
For the rest of us it was a ‘catch-up’ day in camp – a bit of reading, dozing and short visits to the waterhole, to once again marvel at the comings and goings of hundreds of animals.
It’s hard to believe that we leave this beautiful place on Friday for the long journey home.
