Day 88 Hoada Campsite, Damaraland

Headed off for a short game drive towards the western gate of Etosha.  The views were great as the landscape was now much more hilly than the Eastern side of Etosha. As with yesterday we only saw animals congregated at the pumped waterholes but there were still lots of zebra and oryx.  We were amused to watch an elephant in the “elephant-proof” water tank at one of these waterholes.




After leaving Etosha we headed to a little town Kamanjab which we recognised as soon as we got there as we had passed through it on our travels 5 years ago.  We saw three Himba ladies in their traditional dress which we hadn’t seen on our previous visits.  The journey to Hoada was quite short and we arrived mid-afternoon in time for a dip in the plunge pool and a laze in the sun.  The campsite is set in the rocks with the toilet and shower having their own rocky cubicles, and a lovely little plunge pool.
