FjoldRain in southern Namibia
A friend of mine just posted what southern Namibia looks like by Aroab, east of Keetmanshoop. They got some rain in the Kalahari!

scruffyFantastic. I wonder how things are in the northern part of the country. I always worry about the area near Kamanjab. I have seen so much drought and dead and dying animals in a few places in Southern Africa. It is always so sad.

Got a video from Byseewah end of December showing streams running and dams filling. The area is between Otjikondo and Etosha Pan, east of Kamanjab.

One of the major land dams on the property, filled by runoff from the hills to the north into a river that runs strong in good rains.
This is the waterhole near the lodge filled by the river dammed there after good rains. 30,000 hectare property has a few more than several eland.
