Sunday 7 March and Monday 8 March
Lockdown Day 346 and 347
After breakfast we headed east towards Okaukeujo, the main camp in Etosha. The game was so plentiful and at every waterhole we saw thousands of Abdim's Storks. One of the advantages of being here in summer is spotting the migratory birds.
We saw some lions and a flock of vultures maurading around a zebra carcass.
Okaukeujo has a wonderful, floodlit waterhole right at the camp. It's usually impossible to get a booking for one of the waterfront chalets here but we got the prime W1. During the day the waterhole is teeming with zebra and springbok and each night we saw black rhino.
On game drives it is so good to see the park so green. We had a surprise visit from Sue and Chris. We worked out via Facebook that were in the same camp on the same night, which is all the more remarkable considering there are so few tourists in Namibia. You can drive for hours without passing another car.
If you're planning a trip, NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) don't have much in the way of self catering accommodation. The family chalets may have an outdoor braai and most rooms have a fridge and a kettle. You'll probably be going to the restaurant most of the time. They do have discounted DBB rates at the moment though.
