Up North: Saturday...Okaukuejo Camp and Shopping in Okahandja

So Saturday was our day of traveling home with a few stops along the way.  Uanee though being amazing as he is, wanted us to get the most out of trip as possible.  So, on Saturday morning he had us get up at 5 am again to go back into the park for a game drive from 6:30 to 8:30 to see if we could find any more animals we had not yet seen.  Alas, we did not, but we did see some more lions from about 50 feet away.

After our drive we headed back to our hotel for breakfast and to pack up and were on the road again.  We headed back to Ocho where we stopped to pick up the purchases we had ordered on our way up north earlier in the week.  Then we traveled to Okahandja and shopped at the marketplaces there.  We bartered a lot and got many gifts for our friends and loved ones.

Once we got home to Casa Blanca, we were truly thankful to be "home" it really felt like we had come home.  We were sad to say goodbye to Uanee, but we are sure we will be seeing him again before we leave.
