Is Etosha National Park still worth it? How to make it better | Day 1 of 5
Is Etosha National Park still worth it? How to make it better #Namibia
In this video I spend my first day of five inside Etosha National Park to ultimately determine if it is still worth it. We camp at the Gondwana Etosha Safari Camp and do a trip into the park. I share some info on Okaukuejo camp and then we head to Aus waterhole in search of lions. What we find there is extra special as an elephant cow ends up chasing two male lions around.

    Having seen Itchy Boots and her youtuvbe channel going to see the stinking seals at Cape cross thought Id use a spare day in Swakopmund to also go to Cape Cross. Drive past a German town where literally all German nationals live then onto Cape Cross. Its deserted and literally people and pretty much car free. Couple times needed to stop and just breathe as it was so empty. Got to Cape Cross and spent while with the stinking seals...Drive back easier. I half wanted to drive further laong the coast but was solo driving . Nick is a braver man than me. Having said that Im back in Swakomund in January so maybe maybe

    Thanks everyone for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it. Two corrections on the video. The gate at Okaukuejo camp (which I passed through 3 times🤣) is the Anderson gate and not the Galton🫣 and of course the swimming pools at Okaukuejo are only for onvernight visitors and not day visitors...but dont worry all the animals are real. no mistakes there😊
