Well I’ve made it home safe and sound from 3 weeks in Namibia. I was hoping to update my blog regular while I was away but time restraints and slow/unreliable internet access put a stop to that right at the start.
Leopard Lodge
My first stop was at Leopard Lodge, ran by a friend of a friend. It’s a hunting lodge just an hour from Windhoek the capital of Namibia. Lots of wildlife including wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, oryx, kudu hyena, steenbok, baboon, leopard. This caracal is a “Pet” that the kids handle regularly but is kept in a large pen. Not the friendliest pet I’ve ever seen so took photos but didn’t go in a pat.
Caracal
These Waterbuck came to drink at the waterhole while I was sitting up a small hill in a hide.
Giraffe
Female Crocodile – a long time resident at the waterhole with the hide
Cheetah – there were 2 of these beautiful animals on the property.
