Etosha National Park - Dolomite Camp to Okaukuejo Camp to Mushara Lodge

The next couple of days we stayed inside the park travelling from west to east visiting the several waterholes on the way. We couldn't get out of our vehicles but did have an enclosed toilet / lunch stops halfway along the route. 

All had some animals but one had an amazing array of wildlife. See photos. Saw ostriches having a kick boxing match at one spot. At Okaukuejo camp we watched a herd of elephants washing, drinking then having a dust bath. The males were huge and the babies cute. A lion was noticed across the other side of the waterhole. For over half an hour we watched it. Giraffes coming towards the waterhole were in mid halt as the lion was between them and the waterhole. The lion made a move nearer and the elephants who were just moving off were also suspended waiting to see what would happen. A large male elephant moved towards the lion trumpeting loudly until it moved further away. The lion came down for a drink later but we missed it as we're having dinner. Some others stayed up to 10pm and saw rhino at the waterhole. They flood lit the waterhole at night. 

Mushara Lodge is just outside the park. Some may go on a game drive to try and catch sight of a big cat. The units are very luxurious. A lovely spot for R & R.
