The last few days of my trip were spent in the Etosha National park on safari where we saw various amounts of types of wildlife. I will highlight the best of the best in this post.

Not long after entering the park we were treated to a rare sight, a whole herd of roughly 20 elephants of varying ages proceeded to cross the road right beside us. the sheer size of the herd was the most surprising thing.

The next highlight of the first day was witnessing a fight for dominance between two male springboks. It allowed for some fantastic photographs.

The final great sight of the first day in the park was finally seeing a lion, although it barely looked more than a pinprick in the distance. I am uploading the photo as I took it so you can see how little we could see.

On the second day we took a short break at one of the water holes and I found my new favourite animal of the trip. The jackal they were so playful, watching the stalk prey was so fascinating.

Top sighting number two for day two was the extremely hard to see African wild cat who walked straight by us while being mobbed by birds.

When you think of owls you often think hard to see and at night or early morning. What about an owl out in broad daylight in a sunny tree this little cutie was sitting above our heads in a car park.

On our final day in the national park we stopped until the sun was almost set, it was well worth it, although most the day had been disappointing we managed to witness giraffes drinking having to part their front legs so they could lean far enough to drink.
