Long drive to Etosha National Park, but everyone was really excited as it's our first real game drive.  We arrived mid-afternoon, and it was a further 75km drive to the campsite.  Along the way we spotted antelope, elephant, gazelle, giraffe, jackal, oryx, springbok, and zebra.

In the evening, sat at a waterhole which is pot luck if you actually see anything.  We were lucky to see a rhinoceros drink from the waterhole for a long time, followed by hyaena.

Next day our game drive started at 6.30am, and in addition to the previous day, spotted impala, lion, and wilderbeest.  Highlight was in the afternoon, when we saw 19 giraffe head for a waterhole, while a lion sat nearby tormenting them.  They eventually got to drink the water, but it was interesting watching.
