Few hours to drive and we arrive at Etosha National Park. As in Serengeti and Chobe, we are hoping for a good game drive and the chance to see as much fauna as possible. We will be sleeping in 2 different camp site, which are enclosed...Wouhou!!! No hyenas tonight!!!!
One of them including one of the most amazing man made waterhole which give plenty to see at night time... Well unless for Cyril, who decided to fell asleep on the bench! He just missed few stuff, like a fight between 3 rhinos; giraffes, zebras and elephants coming to drink. It is so incredible to see the difference of organisation between each species! Zebras are the most disorganised, and scared animals. Anytime a bird would land near by one of them, it would be a panic moment where all zebras would start running out of the water, and then realising that it was just a bird, they would carefully go back to drink pushing each other even though they had all the space for themselves! Giraffes are very tactical. On a group of 8, one would come first to check out the sight, you could only distinguish a couple more at distance. If the area was clear a couple more would make their way to the waterhole, one standing and watching the right area, and the other the left. The one on the background would start showing themselves but still covering the back by checking out the area while eating. Only now the first one would start drinking, thanks to a very good stretching technics! Their legs would position themselves like a gymnast who would want to stretch their back legs! Sorry I think I will need to send a picture ( my explanations are pretty crap!). Then, when drench it thirst, it would stand back, check out the area and let another giraffe drink. Like that all giraffes would drink one by one, maximum by two, while the others would keep on safety. Elephants is quiet straight forward: no one want to mess up with them! They go, drink around 70 to 100 litter a day!
Well I think we had one of the must lucky game drive ever! We managed to spot 25 lions in one day, including babies! Incredible!!

And of course many more animals, like black rhino, black faced antelopes, dik dik... We went to the Pan where perspective do not exist anymore! Endless salty dry lake that occupy 25% of the park. Any animals trying to cross it, will finish dying of thirst.




And at last, but not least, what we can call: "the cherry on the cake", was the most breast caching sunset...
We could not ask for better for our last national park in Africa.
