Grand Tour

It's now Tuesday 23rd July and we haven't had any internet reception until arrived at Ngepi Camp, Kunene River, near Divunda, Namibia.

We spent 3 days in Etosha, didn't see much game on drives around but saw variety of animals at the water hole at Okaukeujo camp. Attached are some photos.

Yesterday we drove to Tsumeb for some necessary shopping and to visit Jenny's childhood home and primary and high school. Then on to Roy's Camp. Great camp, very interesting place.

Now at Ngepi camp. 

Going stay here for at least 2 nights as Brian has aspirations of landing a tiger fish.

Sorry to disappoint our fans but no internet in Etosha and at Roy's Camp internet down. Will try again when we get to Rundu. Unfortunately also don't have data bundle operating out of SA.
