This included stays just outside Etosha as well as in the National Park.Sightings included:-26 Lion2 Cheetah1 Leopard1 African Wild Cat36 Black Rhino1 White Rhino3 Aardvark10 Aardwolf12 Spotted HyeanaMany Black Backed Jackal5 Bat Eared Fox1 Cape Fox1 Honey Badger6 Eland50+  Hartmans Mountain ZebraToo many Elephant to countLarge herds of ungulates numbering in the 100's ie Blue Wildebeest & Plain Zebra, Springbok etcYou have to put the effort in, in terms of time. The above included several night drives both inside and outside the park, long night time vigils at camp waterholes and out at first light every morning. Burn the candle at both ends as they say, sleep during the heat of the day. As Jos said, late dry season ie September, October and November (until the rain starts) is the peak period.
