Etosha National Park

If you ever want to go on safari this is the place to do it. The land is arid and is desert, the animals are incredible and the place we stayed intense. As we drove through the arid landscapes to a huge gate, like the entarance to Jurassic Park, we couldn’t believe that we were going to stay in the middle of this incredible game park. It was right in the centre of the park and at night jackels just run around your camp lol, you can hear them scurring around for food. The hotel/campsite has its own waterhole (man made) and when night came they lit it up. God, this is seriously breathtaking, the animals all come to the waterhole to drink...elephants, zebras, giraffes, springbok, wilderbeast, oryx and even black rhino! They all share the hole but are weary of each other. Along our trip we have seen these animals but always separately and to thier own species so when we walked up to see a full waterhole full of animals, it just took our breath away. We sat for hours in ore of the scene in front of us, elephants and Rhinos interacting with each other, hundreds of springbok chilling out with each other, zebras drinking from the waterhole in a line with all of their stripyness and long neck giraffes kissing and drinking metres away from us. I’ll try and upload some pictures for you, there is definately nothing like it! (Read the blog underneath too, i just forgot to write about Etosha!)

Keep loving it people, cant wait to hear some more, and see some pics but it prob takes a while to upload pics n stuff.
