11/9 Etosha day 2

We got to the waterhole at 5:45am and Geoff brought the vehicle by at 6am. We headed off to see what we could find on our second game drive.
This time we headed east along the southern edge of the pan to another natural waterhole, Nebrowni. Interesting brown hyena the other animals treat them with respect and clear out of Dodge.
We were just tooling along the road a bit past the waterhole when we came upon a lioness just standing there - presumably strategizing about her breakfast.




we are talking 10 feet from the car window.
She loped across the road and proceeded to waterhole through the perfectly camoflaging grass.




Geoff says "unusual" but wait, there's more. Not 10 mins later we come across a honey badger digging out a ground squirrel nest and capturing the owner.
Now this is very unusual..



Honey badger is swinging the spoils in his mouth. (apair of pale chanting goshawks are on standy cleanup duty)

Pretty succesful drive.
