Zebra’s keep an eye open for danger as they drink from the Newbrownii Waterhole just outside the Okaukuejo Camp in Etosha National Park on Sept. 30, 2012.

Woke up early to be first out of the gate - grabbed food and waited for gate to open at sunrise. What a magnificent sunrise, not use to see sunrises living in the city.

Headed to the Odondeka Waterhole. Got there early, but there was no sign of lions. Backed up truck to take a look at something and got stuck off the side of the road on a drainage pipe. I managed to get out, by turning wheel and sticking the truck into 4-wheel drive.

A herd of elephants stand along the edge of the Okaukuejo Waterhole in the Okaukuejo Camp in Etosha National Park. The Etosha elephants are regarded as tallest in Africa.

Left Swakopmund around 8:00 AM, headed east and turned north at Karibib and headed towards Omaruru to save time. Part of journey was on a gravel road that was surrounded with farms. On the side the roads, bamboons and wild hogs were spotted. Too fast to photograph.

Cut through the towns of Otjiwarongo and Outjo on a paved B1 highway. Not much to see on road here except a few game farms for hunters.

Arrived at Etosha at 2:30 in afternoon after a four plus hour drive from Swakopmund. Had to fill out a bunch of paperwork, pay park fees and read rules. Checked in to the Okaukuejo Camp and went to room, but stopped waterhole first.
