Well last night we went on another night drive, didn't see very much, but we really enjoy them!

This morning we decided to go into Etosha again in our own car, we got a packed breakfast and headed out about 6.15am. We hadn't been around Fischers Pan so decided to do the long trel round and up to Tsumcor and Stinkwater. Saw quite a few water birds and some plains game, but not much else.

We then headed down past Namutoni to Chardop and then onto Kalkhewel. When we left Chardop we came across 2 cheetah walking across the plains - fantastic to see. It was a mother and her youngster - watched them for a while and then headed onto the next waterhole.

As there is so much water around everywhere due to the heavy rains they have had not many of the animals are going to the waterholes to drink. We saw loads of zebra, springbok, oryx, jackals, impala and loads of fantastic birds.

Hope you are all well love and hugs to all xxx

Take care, loads of love hugs and kisses to you both, look after each other, love Mum and Col xx
