Game drives in Etosha during sunset were beautiful. The windows in our bus rolled down and the top popped open so that we could see out and feel the fresh air. This picture shows one of the elephants we saw on a sunset game drive. It was accompanied by a two more adults and a baby. Our campsite was adjacent to a waterhole that was very popular among the animals. Instead of sleeping, I spent a lot of time there observing what I thought of as the "Circle of Life". Giraffes, herds of elephants, zebras, rhinos, owls, springbok, black-backed jackals, birds, duikers, and foxes came and went throughout the night.
