Day 15--Ongongo (Damaraland)


Zebras
Today was a very lazy morning; I didn't wake up till 7:45. We ate breakfast and then hit the road in search of wildlife. On our way out, we stopped by the school to drop off the toothbrushes I brought, some toothpaste, pens, and 1000 Namibian dollars. We asked that the money be used to send some of the orphans to school. The administrators were very grateful. I know the children will love the pens because the other day, Martha Anna threw a pen out the window and the kids literally dove on it. Pens are like gold to them because they must have them to do their school work.
On our drive, we saw giraffes, kudus, oryx, and zebras. Most of them were close enough to photograph and see well.
We pulled over on the side of the road during our drive to search for agat, a semi-precious stone. I found a nice big one!
