Namibia East to West (Oct 2017)
A short section to share a few images from a 2 weeks road trip between the Waterberg Plateau National Park, Caprivi and the Damaraland end of October 2017.
While we were expecting blazing heat, the temperature was bearable during the days and the night were actually quite chilly...

I finally made the time to edit the videos we shot during our drive along the Ugab river bed and our encounter with desert elephants there, happy watching!

After 1.5 weeks camping and driving around, we were treated by a lovely night of rest at the Andersson's camp in Ongava Game reserve.
Their underground hide allowing observation of animals coming to drink in the cam 10m away with an interesting perspective...

After 2 days at the White Lady Lodge, we drove West along the Ugab to reach the Ugab Rhino Camp.
Just as we left camp early morning, we heard lions roaring a few kilometres away and followed their tracks on on the river bed.
The drive was stunning and interesting with fun muddy and sandy parts. Just make sure you have a proper 4WD vehicle if you intend to go there!

Lone bull and rocks...
And the herd...
Middle of October, there was still water running in the Ugab
Lions know where to go...
Follow the herd to the water!

From the Waterberg, we drove to another iconic mountains: the Brandberg!
There we stayed at the White Lady Lodge just along the Ugab river. The place is absolutely amazing and we had the visit of desert elephants right at our camp site!
from there we took a few short walks across the river bed to the surrounding areas and below is how it looks like...

And be sure to take the hike up early morning to watts the sunrise over the horizon!
