Day 16 – Namibia/Botswana Safari 2015. Khorwarib to Etosha

We get an early start after breakfast and head of via Palmwag, Kamanjab, Outjo to the Etosha Safari Lodge it is another long and dusty drive of 413kms until meet up with the C38 tar road between Windhoek and Etosha.

At Kamanjab we fill up our tanks get the tyre fixed so have two spares again and Denise finds ice cream served in a cone it is probably the nicest ice cream I have had and it cost R5 each the same in Sandton would have cost at least R25.

We see more game on this road than we have in the whole 12 days on tour, but that was not what the tour was about, so what was it about? Well it was extreme 4x4 driving, seeing a part of Africa we have never seen and if we were lucky see some desert elephants, which by the way are no different to other African Elephants they have just adapted to the desert and harsh conditions of northern Namibia and someone told me that they are slightly smaller. 


Etosha Safari Lodge is like heaven, comfortable bed, a convenient toilet, a big shower and a lovely setting, a just reward after 12 days of camping. We are exhausted and crash early as we have another long day tomorrow.
