More Namibia

We're writing this from our campsite in Etosha National Park - the wonders of modern technology! I can look up from the screen and see zebras, ostriches and springbok strolling past. We also get sung to sleep by lions each night - luckily the fences around the campsite are quite hefty otherwise that might not be so relaxing! The creature-count here has been pretty good so far - loads of elephants, loads of antelope of various types, wildebeest and even black rhino. The safari camps have floodlit waterholes so we don't even have to go far to see amazing wildlife!

Before Etosha we spent some time at various cheetah and leopard conservation places so got to see both of those really close up which was just amazing.

Since our last post we've also been quadbiking on sand dunes, horse riding on lunar landscapes and hot air ballooning over the desert. Each had their charms but the hot air balloon probably wins overall in terms of excitement!

That's all for now!
