Hi all .... yes cam still alive
Sorry again for being not very active here for a longer while , this time i was on a trip to Namibia !!!
I had a great time with lots of sightings in Etosha , even if being jammed with tourists .... kind of annoying at times !!!! Specially the big camping trucks with these organised trips ..... I did also visit the Seal colony on the Skeleton Coast at Cape Cross , just for one day , then kept on going to the Namib Desert to visit Soussusvlei . Man that was full .....of humans , unbelievable , been there 15 years ago , had changed not for the better IMHO !!!!!
Will not return to that place ..... some folks , who i met there , stated ...... no more atmosphere .... due to the mass of humans , i agreed !!!!
But back to Etosha .... great time from the pure sightings POV , and first time visiting the western part ..... that was different on all counts , no cars , good sightings and a different landscape compared to the Etosha that i was used to .
Funny was the fact , that the photograph was different , as in the western part the animals just concentrated at the waterhole , which was not that much the case in the eastern /central part .
In the end i had a good time in both areas , but really enjoyed the peace in the western section !!!!!!!!
Long typing here you go , this little boy was playing with itīs trunk while the rest of the herd was busy drinking ...hope you like it .
