We arrive at Ngamo Pan at around lunch time for a well-deserved meal and a siesta or an afternoon watching the procession of game visiting the waterhole. Later, depending on the local game movements, we either head out on a short walk or game drive to explore the surrounding area.

We return to our camping site at around sunset to enjoy dinner around the fire beneath the canopy of the African night sky.
