Having heard about a great camp close to the border we decided to stop driving around lunchtime. We made our way to Ngepi Camp which sits neatly on a river bank. And what a place it is! We had a perfect spot by the water and the best toilet and bathroom I have seen in the whole of our trip. The bathtub sits on a platform over the river with a view over the African landscape (and also a view in for passing boat trips!), whilst the al-fresco toilet was built in to a throne. Other bathrooms around the camp included the 'Holiday Inn' shower which was bright white and included a pair of sun-glasses to protect bathers from the immense glare and also a 'Wild Africa' one which consisted of a bucket of cold water hanging from a tree. The owners of this place have put in a lot of love and it pays off - we highly recommend a stay here.
Sadly we had to leave Ngepi this morning as there is lots we want to do in Namibia and a relatively short amount of time to do it. We packed up and headed on the long drive down from the Pan Handle to Grootfontein. The road was long, straight and immensely boring - made even more so by the lack of music. We know the problem though - we just need to buy a new cable for the iPod. Problem is we're about to head in to the middle of nowhere for at least a week and I very much doubt there's a Dixons in Etosha.
Tonight we're staying at the Bush Baby Camp near Grootfontein and are surrounded by zebras, kudos and a number of other animals. The place even has two rhions which we plan to go in search of tomorrow morning before heading North again to Etosha National Park.
