From Mt Etjo, all the other tour members have another 3 days at Etosha National Park while I will head back to Windhoek. At first I thought I should have booked all 3 component tours (South, North & Etosha) for a 15 day tour but figured since I was going on safari in Tanzania, I didn't need to add the Etosha part. I'm glad I didn't since due to the rains, the animals would not be at the main watering hole that is crawling with every animal possible in the dry season. The group was told they may even find most of the roads closed when they drove north to Etosha.
A drive from Windhoek is delivering a new tour member to the group and will take me south to Windhoek. I went back to Naankuse guesthouse for 1 night so I could go to the travel agency to sort out my other travel plans. Heavy rains again and they even had a rare hail storm. My last night was spent out at Naankuse Lodge. After dinner another heavy storm with high winds hit and it rained most of the night. The lodge is hard to get to on a dry day so I worried that I wouldn't make it to airport.
Jaco was not driving a 4X4 today, so he asked a film crew staying at the lodge to take me across the muddy river. They are filming a documentary about Marlice and her life raising animals. We're running late when I get to the airport but luckily the flight to Victoria Falls is delayed.
