Picked the crew up at the airport and went to Joe's Brew house for some food and libation. Following morning we loaded up and went shopping and headed to Otjiwarongo where we camped for the night after a lekker braaivleis.
Went to the Cheetah Conservancy and then onto Okaukuejo in Etosha for two nights. Did a game drive and had a stunning encounter with a lion and lioness which was right by our car. He then walked to the storm drain and went inside and just started roaring, was unbelievable. The roaring is more exciting than seeing them.
Then we went to the wateringhole that night and we had 10 Rhinoceros's drinking and fighting consistently was an amazing sight to witness.
The following day's game drive we had a bunch of ellies and giraffe , Impala, Hartebeest and Wildebeest going moggy all the time.
Drove West 192km to Dolomite Camp which was a gem. The drive there was spectacular with many watering holes and huge herds of Zebra, Wildebeest, Giraffe , Springbok and Elephants. The beauty is there is hardly anyone around and many times we had it all to ourselves. Was a great trip through the park and Dolomite Camp sits on a mountain and overlooks the vast plains , absolutely stunning views.

Arrived in Windhoek by bike
I finally arrived inventor of the coming from hans's phone which was about 240 kilometres North. I left Hanson Farm after having breakfast with one of them. I decided to take the dirt road to Ventura as opposed to the asphalt which was a hundred kilometers shorter. The road down was a real fun one and it changed into a single-track section where I was lucky enough to see some zebras and they ran on the road for about 2 kms.
Was a real fun ride the road had a lot of loose gravel on it and that was the fun part, the bike kinda floats on it but in the corners you have slow a bit. Must have only passed 3 vehicles in 240 kms. I found the Air Bnb we had booked and a nice one it was, so that completes that part of my bike trip and now will go for 18 days in a Toyota HI Lux 4x4 , which will be a pleasure when hitting the sand. Charmain flew up from Cape Town after missing me for 12 days and we went to Joe's Beerhaus for dinner.
We have sorted out the vehicles, took my bike for it's 20 000km service at BMW and they will keep it for me while I am gone. Went to Andy's for supper, just all locals and a great joint with lots of character and good food.
