The View from Andersson’s Camp, Namibia

IMG_0112I think it was the zebras that showed up first. But it may have been a giraffe, or possibly a kudu.

In any case, it didn’t take long after we arrived at Andersson’s Camp in Namibia’s Ongava Game Reserve before various species made an appearance at the waterhole just beyond the lounge area. As we tucked into a late lunch the visitors began dropping by, and our group began behaving like Jack-in-the-boxes, jumping up and grabbing cameras every time a new animal turned up.
