We spent four nights in the Etosha Pan Game Reserve, the first two at
Namutomi and the subsequent two nights at Halali and Okaukuejo. Four wonderful
days were spent getting up at the crack of dawn to leave the camps as soon as
possible for game viewing and then coming back at last light to make the day
last as long as possible. It was really hot (36 -> 38 Centigrade) at midday, so
we would return to the camps for a quick snooze, or to do some washing.
