During one of our game drives around our Expedition camp at Etendeka, in the mountain desert known as Damaraland, we passed a relatively strong fresh water spring.

'Trekbokken' congregating in the desert hills of Damaraland!

Sighting: 29 April 2007 - 10h15. Exploring the rocky hills around Etendeka Mountain Camp, I stumbled upon an amazing sight!
