On the following day, we stop at what is supposed to be a Himba village, but looks a lot more like a tourist trap. We are going to spend a nice moment with the children, but will be disappointed, from a general point of view...
First hours in the Etosha National Park game reserve, where all the animals gather around the few remaining water holes.
The water hole below was set up on the edges of the campground (behind a wall and barbed wire), and is lighten up at night, so that you can spend the whole night watching elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes and so on come and go.
Some of the animals even manage to enter the campground and visit us at dinner or breakfast time:
The variety and quantity of animals you can see in the park is just incredible:
The Etosha Pan is a 120 km long salt pan, which is mostly dry but after a heavy rain it will acquire a thin layer of water, which is heavily salted by the mineral deposits on the surface of the pan, which most of the year is dry mud coated with salt.
The last nights in Namibia are going to be spent on the banks of the Okavango River, where we will hear at night and see during the day our first hippos.
