Awoken from my sleep quite early this morning by my mother I proceeded to get dressed, not having time to shower due to my brother taking ages.

Breakfast was anything you could think of plus bacon which was surprisingly nice.

After a short session of repacking we checked out and waited in the garden for our driver. I spent this time camera pointed into the trees desperately trying to photograph the birds flying to and fro.

The driver arrived and greeted us with a smile. His name was Leonard, informing us we would have him for the duration of our trip. Packing up the car we set off I took the chance to sit up front so not to miss a thing.

On route Leonard informed us that presently the people of Namibia are divided into 14 tribes.(Will add later) the largest of which governs Namibia.there are four main industries in Namibia which are construction ,tourism , export and mineral extraction.

Our main event of the day was a trip into the Kalahari.

On arrival at the private Kalahari game reserve. We were offered a safari trip, without hesitation we accepted.

the time between the safari arriving was spent near the pool myself wondering off taking photos of ground squirrels various birds ,antelope(broad term) and lizards.

Evening came around shortly and we gathered around for a quick drink before getting into the jeep. We set off and within minutes we saw animals left and right. Springbok, Kudu, Oryx, Ostrich, Black faced impala, Blue wildabeast.

These were nothing compared tp the treat we got of a close view f the reserves female lioness. she was just waking up as we found her yawning loads showning off her huge teeth. The best of the best was the sun set right at the end. We drove up atop of one of the many red sand dunes and watched the sun go down , drink in hand it was breath taking you could go anywhere in europe and not get a view like that.

by the time we left the sand dunes it was dark and the sky was iluminted with stars and planets. breathtaking to say the least.
