Waterberg hike

Got up, packed the camp, went back to the lions. They were still in the same spot as yesterday. Maybe they would be trying their luck at the same spot once more. The jackals had taken the sorry remains of the lions meal from yesterday and dragged it some 20 meters away. But there was nothing left of it now. Only the spine, ribs and cranium was there. Everything else was sold out.
Left Etosha and headed southwest towards our next destination. Waterberg national park. Not so big as Etosha but more hilly so the terrain looks very different. Had a short pitstop on the way here so we could resupply in the supermarket. Arrived at the camp site just before lunch. Went on a small hike to the top of the Waterberg plateau where there was a great view of the surrounding area - that is completely flat. Saw a big group of baboons at the top of the mountain. A short hike down to the camp site and the a swim in the pool in the afternoon when we came back from the hike, dinner - another nice day in Namibia.
Waterberg - as the name indicates - is a natural source of water so it was ok to drink from the tap. What a pleasant change from all the bottled water.
