Caprivi and Bwabwata National Park
From the Okavango Delta we drove up to the Caprivi region and stayed near the Bwabwata National Park in Namibia. We took a game drive in a smaller area of the park (not Mahangu), and it was surprisingly quiet, almost eerily so.
But then a 4x4 carrying a recently shot elephant drove quickly by. And that explained the eerie silence. The larger animals had fled, and the smaller ones were keeping quiet.
Trophy hunting is allowed in that specific area of the Bwabwata National Park. We didn't know that and were quite shocked.
