Day 2 in Etosha starts with us getting up early to leave as the gate opens, hoping to see some action back at the Goas waterhole where we saw the dead zebra last night.

Mother Nature again did not dissappoint us! Three lions had already finished most of the zebra, but were still guarding the left overs.
We spent about an hour and a half watching these beautiful animals lazing around in the early morning sun.
Taking too many photo's from only about 20 meters away.
Rubbing heads before taking another bite!
Not being bothered by other animals, no matter what size they are!
Impala. Watching from a safe distance!
Keeping an eye on things while the other 2 take a nap.
And meanwhile back on the other side of the waterhole and not believing their eyes either ....
We eventually left to check out the surroundings around Halali and stopped at the Etosha Lookout, right on the edge of the pan, looking out on a whole lot of nothing!
The comings and goings at Rietfontein, my favourite waterhole.

| Steenbok. If you stand really still and stare straight ahead, the tourists won't notice you! |
West of Halali we drive past Salvadora and noticed another lion couple. Really, really lazy and we never saw them move. So we named them - The lazy lions of Salvadora - it just sounded do book-title-good!

Spending time back at Rietfontein before returning to Halali for the night.
The end! (of our second day in Ethosha)
