And somehow trying not to be eaten by a hungry lion in the process or disturb the large group of elephants passing along our car… Welcome to Etosha national park, a jewel when it comes to wildlife diversity and abundance set in a middle of a quite atypical landscape. 20’000 sq km in the center of which lies an immense salt desert, the Etosha pan, that gives the name to the park “the great wh...

Started a new life chapter in 2009 and loving it! Bye Bye China (since 2003) and the world of Communication and welcome to the Humanitarian world! Where? Well...first 13 months in Pyongyang, North Korea followed by 18 months in Baghdad. Enjoyed every minute of it & somehow looking at life with a different perspective. If there was one sentence to summarize my state of mind, it would be this quote from Ghandi "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever" I am now based in Monrovia, Liberia and it is yet once more a whole new culture ... full info

Great information
As always you are out there exploring. Loved the photo of changing the tire. Glad there were not any lurking lions at that time. Sounds like you can do it for a reasonable price. I really like this shot. [photo=7481015]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
I read your blog and drooled over all these beautiful photos this morning. All I can say now is, I think I want to sell all of my possessions and take my kids on safari. We did something similar in Kenya before kids, but now I want to take them to experience all of this wonderfulness. Thanks so much for this tantalizing entry!

Indeed a perfect place for kids !
And you might not even have to sell your possessions ! The canvas suite like the one we got has an extra convertible bed so if you are a family of 4. you are looking at 130/night, a real bargain :-)

Self drive
Nothing like a solitary acacia to evoke African scenery. With a tour guide you can keep in touch with other guides to know the current location of game. Did you feel disadvantaged in this respect with your self drive or was the freedom an overwhelming advantage?

Hi Dave, very good point raised (as usual) and one of the reason why we still took a guided tour the 2nd day. Now, having seen both (self drive vs guided one), would say that in both cases info comes from other people you cross; guide don't have radio & there is no mobile phone signal in most places so they do the same as us, slow down when you see another car and ask :-) worked pretty well ! Thanks for the comment about the tree, a special one indeed ! Arhh Africa

Too many great photos to single any one out. Thanks for all the practical info - camping in or near one the savanna's national parks is a "to do" adventure for us. Glad to see it's rather reasonable.
