Waterholes, west Etosha National Park Namibia

How's it going Steemers???

I would like to share some photos with you from the waterholes I visited on the west side of Etosha National Park.

We visited this west side of the park in summer, it was very dry and is very desert like, not many trees and not much wildlife to be seen.

We did see some ground squirrels

And off in the distance we even saw a wilder beast giving birth.

Within a minute of the birth the baby was up and walking. Then they returned to the herd.

Apart from that the only other time we saw wildlife was wherever there was water.

As it is so dry out here, they have built this man made waterhole which pumps water from an underground bore. It is powered by solar panels.

Even if there is a bit of water on the road you are sure to see some wildlife getting their drink on.

We stopped at a little water hole. At first an eagle and a kudu were both hanging out.

Then some more kudu and a Zebra approached for a drink.

Followed by some ostriches.

They were running around, it was fun to watch.

Another water hole we passed had some springbok and ostriches at it.

But this one waterhole was just teaming with wild life. We sat and watched oryx, springbok, kudu, zebra and wilder beast all come up to the waterhole for a drink.

There was a huge herd of zebra at the waterhole.

It was so cool to just watch them as they drank.

The zebra do get spooked very easy, any sound or slight movement, they all start to jump and move erratically.

It was a great day in Etosha National Park. After our big day in the park we headed back to our camp site and watched the sun set. Another day of our African Adventure is in the books 😊
