December 5th to December 16th 2023

This trip was organised by Wildlife Worldwide. The trip involved flying between four Reserves. The first location was Mowanni Mountain Camp in Damaraland, where the prime species was Desert Elephants. Flying to Ongava Reserve on the border with Etosha Reserve the objective was Black and White Rhino. A further short flight brought me to Onguma Tented Camp in Etosha. The final destination was Okinjima Private Reserve where I had excellent sightings of Leopard.
