Fork lightning and feeding Cheetahs!
Up, showered, packed away and hit the road for 6.30am (Hot showers!). The morning 'game drive' turned out to be quite productive - baby ostriches with their mummy and daddy walking along the middle of the road, Oryx chasing ostriches at the watering hole, Impala, Wildebeest bla bla bla!
We left Etosha National Park around 10am bound for Cheetah Park - with some debate about Alun's dodgy payment strategy which left us somewhat out of pocket! - and went shopping for 'supplies' ...
More kitties; this time big ones!

I guess the lionesses must have been 70m away from us. Luckilly Anke had binoculars, which made it all a bit easier to follow. I tried to take pics with my 100-400mm lens I bought just before leaving to Africa, but I notice 400mm is still way tooo little to get a real good snap! ...
Back in Nam
... the fire, under thousands of bright, twinkling stars that graced the sky.
Half a day of driving put the coast line in our sights. We drove parallel to the sea along what is called The Skeleton Coast. It was given this name because of the many boats that became victims of this ragged stretch of coast over the years.
