Day 5 - October 29 – Hobas campsite to Sesriem campsite

Today was the longest drive of this section of the trip but it went fairly quickly and smoothly and was quite enjoyable. We left Hobas at 6 am and arrived at Sesriem around 2:30 pm. We checked in at the campsite and continued on to the Sesriem Canyon where we saw baboons. That’s not all we saw today, on the drive I finally saw a springbok as well as oryx, zebras and ostriches. It’s quite beautiful out today, not as hot or windy as the last couple of days, although a bit of rain did blow in which was refreshing.

It is surreal driving through the desert. Everything looks the same (well different, but the same) it’s so strange to have C, our driver, just suddenly slow the truck down and take what seems a completely random left or right.
