Day 14 Friday 15th July: Okaukuejo Camp, Etosha - Gobabis

Sadly what we planned and waited for, for so long has flown by. Johnny, Mish, Rich and Karen have stayed on for an extra day in Etosha and will follow us back to Johannesburg a day later. There was an aire of resignation in the camp as we packed up our tents and trailers for the last time. The Toyota convoy left Etosha at 09h00 and set off towards Gobabis 600km south east of Etosha.

We were back on dusty, flat roads passing through vast plains of beautiful Namibia.

A road side picnic for lunch, a few compulsory gin and tonics for the non-drivers and still excellent cuisine - parma ham, salami, blue cheese, cold chicken and rump!

The drive to Gobabis took longer than we anticipated and by the time we arrived at Zelda’s Guest House close to the Botswana border it was well after 19h00 - a quick dinner, a wonderful hot shower and early to bed…. and early to rise
