Early the next morning we set off northwards to Etosher. It was already hot !
We stopped at the Hoba Meteorite, 60 tones of nickel-iron, there in the sand.
We had lunch at Lake Otjikoto, and took a short walk to the Lake. It is very isolated and deep. Of particular interest are the little fish who washed in here a long time ago, and due to no predation evolved differently.
According to Wikipaedia, the lake has a diameter of 102m and the depth is undetermined. 62m has been measured at the side and in excess of 142m in other areas. Is was formed as part of a Kharst landscape, a limestone sinkhole. During WW1 Germans dumped military equipment into the lake.
From here we travelled northwest and into Etosha Pan National Park at the Lindequist Gate. Our first animal was a giraffe. We drove to Namutoni Camp where we stayed for two nights.
