All the animals from Noah's Ark were taking a break at the Nebrownii waterhole.

After checking out of Namutomi Camp, drove west towards Anderson Gate where the trip in Etosha began. Said good byes to fellow guests who made travel across Etosha with us.

The Chudob waterhole is filled with action as impalas drink with caution as the sun begins to set.

Up before sunrise and waited for gate to open. Again we started out at sunrise and visited several waterholes. As headed out, a hyenna crossed our path right where the leopard had eaten the springbok the night before.

First stop was Kalkheukel, good choice with the sun at our backs. A great deal of activity there with oryx, kudu, impalas and zebras.

Many birds around like a Martial Eagle and Guinea Fowl were everywhere.

A leopard awakes after an afternoon nap and meal of a springbok antelope.

Up early and checked out of Halali camp and drove to Goas. There we saw an injured lion along the parking area near the waterhole. She had a puncture mark on her upper chest. Perhaps from a fight with another member of her pride. Off in the distance was an injured ornx. If you can two and two together, maybe a fight with the oryx.

Then headed to Ngobib Waterhole, not a good location. Some animals but difficult to shoot. Off to Kalkheukel and saw some elephants. Sat there awhile and some kudus and zebras showed off, also a hyena.

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.
