Picture Stories - Etosha April 2014
End of April we reached the biggest step of our tour: the Etosha (means
great white place, named after the Etosha pan) National park, 1200 qkm
of protected area. We started our tour in the dolomite camp at the very
east of Etosha. On the next day we traveled to Okaukuejo, where we
stayed 2 days and after that left Etosha over Namutoni. Since it is fall
at that time and had plenty of rain before, we were able to see Etosha
much more green than normally. Although this is very nice for pictures
it is also more hard to see animals in the dense bushes and gras, but we
managed as you can see. All of the big fives (lions, elephants, buffalo,
rhinos, leopards) except for the buffalo can be found there.
On the left picture you see two lioness confronting a wildebeest.
