We travel down the river towards Puros and see the first
grass since entering Namibia
discounting the lodges .
The river is running its source is a underground spring and
other than the Kunene and Orange
the first river/stream with running water. We are all relaxing…….washing etc. before
going on a drive down the Hoarusib river bed to look for the Desert Elephants
once again.
After an hour or so down the river bed with Roger and Julia
we see the elephant tracks heading the way we have come, now with our new found
tracking knowledge identifying;what is new elephant dung, tracks that are fresh, elephant urine that has recently been passed we decide to return to camp in the hope that we see the elephants on our way back and as luck would have it we see the small herd sucking up water from a hole they have made in the river bed and throwing sand all over themselves, mission accomplished.

The sand in this section was deep and you often entered a
dust bowl |
