Halali, Etosha 28/9/11 (Day 24)

Went up to the waterhole last night. Black rhino, rabbits, brief guest appearance by lioness, owl, nightjar. Few sprinkles of rain, nothing major.
Woke to lion grunts (not roars!)
Had a lovely morning drive: hyena, jackal, lion, assorted birds. Back at camp at noon for boiled egg sandwiches and a refreshing swim.

Airborne:

Most photographed tree in Etosha - it's always green!

The endless pan:

Had an afternoon snooze, experimented with a wet sheet - worked for me, I dozed. Luis claims he got hot immediately as the sheet dried almost instantaneously!
Ah well, another beautiful day near it's end. Will go waterhole later and see what we can achieve with the D90's.
