Woken by our French neighbours at 4.45 so got up once the
sun had risen and headed for the waterhole.
Amazingly yet another rhino was there having its morning drink.
We sat and watched zebras, springbock, oryx
and giraffes wander down over the next hour before heading back to camp for our
own breakfast.
The drive today was across the western side of Etosha which
we didn’t visit last time as it was only just in the process of being opened to
the public 5 years ago. We were not
really expecting to see as much wildlife as there are fewer waterholes but
instead we saw huge herds of zebra and oryx at all the waterholes, as well as
lots of ostriches and a bat-eared fox.
We were surprised when we arrived at the Dolomite
lodge as it was very different to what we had expected. We left the Landrover at the
bottom of the hill and were driven up (very fast!) on a quad bike with our
luggage to our stunning chalet with absolutely spectacular views over the
plains.
