Namibia - Etosha NP

I was very excited about our first proper game drive and just as we pulled into the park we heard news on the radio that there were lion very close so we headed straight out with the truck to find them. That night there was a huge storm, and the rain got very heavy, I was lucky but others weren't, some tents flooded and one couple had to re-pitch a tent in the middle of the night, turns out they did pitch the first one in a bit of a hole though!
The following day was all game driving, we were all looking out the windows ready for photo opportunity's when Trevin said he spotted a Leopard so the truck stopped, we were all looking for ages before we could just about make out a paw sticking out from the branches in the tree, how he saw it we don't know. We waited and waited and eventually it came down from the tree to continue feasting on its earlier kill.
