We decided to go into the Etosha Game Park at Anderson Gate and exit at Von Lindquist gate in the East continuing east on secondary roads to meet up with the B8 from Grootfontein to Rundu which is right on the Angola border.
We see a lot of game between Okaukuejo and Namatoni and but for a couple of minutes we would have seen a leopard, but other than a tail and an ear it was well hidden in a tree, lots of Elephant, Springbok, Wildebeest, Hartebeest, Zebra, Oryx, Jackal, Duiker, Blesbok and others in a 120kms that took us 4 hours. We had to see the Etosha pan dry as the last time we were here in 2011 it was full of water, needless to say we took a lot of photos.
I have mapped out our trip for the day and all was going well until the Garmin lady decided she did not know what road we were on, we had prior notice that the road does not go as straight forward as shown on maps and the cross roads on the map were not always cross roads and one has to go down another road to pick up the road you should be on. However with Garmin, Map and gut feel and a lot of the latter we managed to get to our destination.
On my map it showed a giant Baobab Tree on the left, it turned out to be on a different road and on the left and to get to it we had a walk of 1.4kms, which was good for us.
