Our final night in #Etosha didn’t go exactly to plan, but we got to witness a rare event - a cloudy Namibian sky 2025 has been unnaturally wet for #Namibia. Though not wet enough to undo their #drought, it still brought about levels of rainfall not seen in decades #timelapse #milkyway #nature

On our last #safari through #Etosha, we stumbled upon a pair of hyena pups chilling just outside their den Equal parts sleepy and playful, it takes all the self control in the world to stay a safe distance away and not disturb their peace #namibia #wildlife #photography #nature #heyna
