Namibia, Etosha National Park

The first stop in Namibia was the famous Etosha National Park. It is a huge nature reserve and has a host of large animals that you would expect to see in Africa. I had several days of safari in the reserve to see game.

 The entrance to our first camp site at Namutoni

 The camp site used to be a fort built by the German colonial power to control traffic along the road although since creation of the reserve the road has been moved to skirt the reserve and the fort now for part of the campsite.

 The main tower.

 A view from the top of the tower towards the nearby watering hole which attracts animals at dawn and dusk. There is a hide and the area is floodlit at night so visitors can view the animals drinking.
