Very lucky, Bushbaby!

Interesting the collar on the second sable!

I want to go to KNP.....


Absolutely wonderful pictures of teh Grysbokkie. The 'normal' grysbok down this way East Cape, is fairly common, a night drive on any dusty secdondary road will produce about 6 or so

Also see loads of natual Mountain Reedbuck through teh Oliphant's Kop pass between PE and Cradock, as well as between Uitenhage and Patensie. They are so nimble on valley slopes has to be seen to beleive it.

Anyway, Im in awe over your pics. Great stuff..

Any recent rare antelope sightings?? Will be going there in a week’s time!!!

During our visit to KNP in July 2010, we were blessed with great Sable sightings!

This beautiful bull was waiting for us on the S36 near the S125 turnoff.















These two were standing in the distance on the S145 near Talamati camp







Whilst me and my brother were patrolling the gravel roads (S36 & S140) in the search for Sable, my parents got these guys at the Orpen Rocks – a herd of ±20!! Couldnt believe their luck!

In July 2010 we saw a total of 29 Eland!

We saw this herd on two consecutive days at Mooiplaas waterhole.










These two bulls on the S144, 8km north of the S143 turnoff






On the H1-9




At Boyela waterhole near Babalala






On the S143

Wow! Very lucky indeed! I've only seen eland once in the last 10 years... Clearly I'll have to visit the North more!

From Mopani northwards - Big antelope valley!!! I love the north!

What amazing sightings, SamoesaWoestyn

Up to now I only saw one single sable bull im my life in Kruger and of course would love to see more and the elands are still elusive in Kruger for us. So thanks for the information where to search

wow... what a chance

Pumbaa, rare antelopes is a big passion of mine and is on top of my “to see list” every time I visit any park!

Any new Rare antelope sightings lately??

Hey guys.

Was just travelling from bateleur to letaba a couple days ago and saw a herd of Tsessebe. And just a bit further down the road we saw our first ever Lichtenstein's Hartebeest. Was one of the most amazing sightings I've had !!!

I was in the park in the beginning of October and was extremely lucky with the "rare antelope" sightings... We had 15 sightings of tsessebe, 7 sharpe's grysbok, roan twice and on our way out we saw a sable bull. Needless to say I was over the moon! I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

Brilliant stuff
Can't wait for the

Sounds like a fabulous trip Bushbaby Obviously you spent some time in the North
