Monday 2 November: our last day

 We are woken by a bird tapping in the window and another glorious African sunrise. Tea overlooking our private pool and view and a refreshing dip. There are lots of giraffes watching us. Last minute packing and a bit of relaxation before a late breakfast on the Lodge terrace. No bull frogs this morning. We leave soon after 11 and admire our last antelopes as we drive through the park to the main road. Tarmac all the way to Windhoek and after about 3 hours we reach the ATI travel office where we return our cool box and discuss the highlights of our trip. Then on to the airport where we return the car and check in. We’re now enjoying a beer while we wait for our flight. What a wonderful trip we have had. We have been treated like royalty and will miss the open space, stunning scenery and glorious African skies.

Saturday 30 November: Onguma Safari

Image
  Wow, what a day! Thinking yesterday could not be surpassed we set the alarm for 5.15am and set out on the sunrise safari at 6.00am. It’s just us and our guide Liberty who knows the NP so well and is in contact with other rangers about sightings. We see 2 sets of two magnificent Cheetah who are basking in the shade with full bellies. They are truly magnificent. We also see a variety of birds, the back end of a black rhino and 3 lionesses crossing at a distance. We are revived with Rangers Coffee: coffee with a dash of Baileys instead of milk! Back for breakfast at 9 before a day by the pool watching the waterhole and spotting luxurious birds in the trees with our borrowed binoculars. At 5pm we join another sunset tour and see eagles, vultures and a whole pride of lions and 3 lionesses… so close I almost felt nervous! This place has been incredibly special.
