The Waterholes:Aus:
Good water hole. Here you should see black faced impala, elephant,
gemsbok, kudu, springbok, zebra and even rhino.
Gemsbokvlakte: A good waterhole for viewing in the dry
months. Attracts a variety of game including elephant and lion.
Homob: Close to the edge of the pan
Kapupuhedi: Not so popular as the water
hole dries up.
Okaukuejo: One of the main reasons why visitors choose to overnight
at Okaukuejo is the close proximity of this busy waterhole and the
busy nigh-time activity around it. The viewing platform is about 50 metres from the hole which is
floodlit after dark and you are guaranteed some excellent
views of the various animals as they come down to drink.
Okondeka: On the edge of the pan this water
hole is frequented by the plains animals. You might see giraffe and
even lion here.
Olifantsbad: Attractive mopane veld. Good
variety of game including elephant, lion, black nosed impala, red
hartebeest, gemsbok, kudu, zebra.
Ombika: A good
waterhole visited by a variety of animals.
Ondongab: Not so popular as the water hole
dries up.
This is a daytime photograph of the
waterhole at Okaukuejo taken from the viewing platform in order that
you can appreciate the close proximity that you can get to the
animals. It's very popular throughout the night as a drinking place
which allows for some excellent close up photography.
