11.9.07: - Well after our little stop in windhoek, Robson drove us onto Waterburg Plateau. This is kind of like Table Top Mountain in Cape Town but a lot bigger. We set up camp in the well equipt site & sat down with the rest of our group watching the sun set with a few beers.
12.09.07: - We woke @ 5.30 as we were heading out for an early morning trek to the top of waterburg plateau to watch the sun rise. Our trek was steep in places & we had to climb over many rocks, but once @ the top the view was amazing. We arrived @ the top with mins to spare before the sun popped up from behind the Plateau. It was well worth the early morning trek.
13.09.07: - Etosha national park does not disapoint. On our first game drive yesterday around sunset we saw our first group of lions about 50m away from the truck. Once back @ our camp site we decided to get a few beers in & head down to the parks waterhole to watch the animals @ dusk. Here we got our first sighting of a white Rhino, who was happy to pose for the camera. As we were sitting there over 20 giraffes came in for a drink. They are quite funny when they drink as they have to spread their front legs out in front of them, then bend down to get a drink. Griraffes can only drink for short periods of time otherwise the blood goes to their heads & they pass out.
Today we left our camp @ 7.00am for an early morning game drive, this was fantastic. We saw a further 18 lions including 3 very cute cubs sheltering from the sun ynder a tree.
15.9.07: - Well today we are in Swakopmund & we are in a very comfortable lodge with our own room, yeah. This morning we went sandboarding on the dunes, this was fantastic, I only wiped out once. However Drew was very good & stayed on the board the whole time. This is fun except the san gets everywhere & I mean everywhere!
