Communal Weaver Bird nest (estimated at around 500 birds)

So, we made our way to the Anderson’s Gate of Etosha National Park on our first morning, which is about a 20-minute drive - our camp was quite a way into the Ongava reserve. We made our way straight to the nearest waterhole in time to see a male lion roaring before wandering off into the bush and out of sight. Further on we spotted a Black Backed Jackal moving her puppies from a den site too close to the road to somewhere further into the bush. We continued exploring through the morning, coming across a communal Weaver Bird nest (estimated at around 500 birds), Oryx, Springbok, Red-Crested Korhaan, Blue Wildebeest and Ostrich. Once we were past the thick bush close to the park entrance the landscape changed dramatically into vast plains and more akin to what we were expecting.
