Photo: After a session of mud splashing and back rubbing things can get a bit touchy, especially when it involves 30 elephants sharing the small Nebrowni watherhole in Etosha. These two elephants seemed to be getting on each other’s nerves and were engaging in a kind of power face-off.
25 photos from Namibia we can’t stop looking at

LAST OCTOBER MY WIFE AND I SPENT two weeks driving around Namibia’s Etosha National Park in a VW Polo (we originally dreamed of a 4×4 with a rooftop tent, but that didn’t happen), making the most of the dry season when the wildlife congregates around the scattered waterholes. Settling for the car freed up some budget to go on an exciting dune ride at Walvis Bay and finish the trip off with a hot-air balloon flight over the Namib. We’d gone for the wildlife and ended up finding so much more in the solitary desert landscapes, the beautiful rock art sites, and the raw South Atlantic coast.
