Etosha - "Great White Place" is a massive National Park in Northern Namibia.� At the core of the park is the Salt Pan that stretchs for over 500km.

�

It is the salt that attracts the wildlife but the difference with Etosha is�the animals come to see us.� Our campground (Okakujo) has a waterhole at its edge, that is floodlit at night, enabling you to view the wildlife that come to drink here, any time of day or night.� Just before sunset is the best time to find a prime spot to sit and watch the theatre that is performed on the stage beyond the 2m�stone wall.

�

From dusk onwards, a large variety of animals tentavily find their way down to drink from the waterhole.� Lions, black rhino, elephant, giraffe, all drink at the same time seemingly unaware of our presence due to the blinding lights.� To paraphrase Alfie, this is truely African theatre at its best.

�

We also did a game drive in our own truck where we not only spotted the usual wildlife but were treated to the appearance of a male lion and his pride and three hyena lazing by the side of the road.
