Giraffes are very stately animals.

It is a tremendous effort for a Giraffe to drink. It is very vulnerable when drinking as it takes so long to get into a drinking position, by spreading its forelegs & lowering its head. At a waterhole we saw three lionesses ambush a giraffe, as it started drinking. It only just managed to escape.

Best not to get too near, though Lions are not very active in the daytime ......

..... just as well - we had two punctures in Etosha. Luckily there were no hungry lions nearby. Punctures are common in Etosha, as there are no roads, only rough tracks. Notice the two spare wheels in our vehicle.

These are specially adapted to the dry desert climate.

Show-offs!

Outside our bungalow in the Etosha camp.

These creatures are very large. Not very active, this one was cooling off in the shade of a tree.

Seals at the Cape Cross Seal  reserve on the Atlantic Coast. This colony numbers about 200,000.

Cute. They are all so very photogenic.

They are very noisy & smelly and are prone to chase you if you get too near. However they do like posing for photos....

Pelicans and Flamingos were plentiful here.

The night Safari was fun, but I doubt the Chameleon approved much of being handled.

The Hobatere Lodge had its own little waterhole yards from where Ann had a swim.

Guess where Ann found a load of these! They were very large - about 3" long
