Hey, bambazonke!

A couple of buffalo, but the one does seem to have a white belly!

Hi RP

not the same pic. The one i saw taller animal more side on to camera , head up so blaze on nose visible and the light on what I assumed to be the horn, I first though buffs, but then ????.
and no I had not had an alcoholic beverage, so can't claim that excuse

Let me tell you I've tried all the supposed regular spots to sight sable, but have come up negative the last few years. Timing not right, I suppose?

Have to admit I haven't had a problem seeing them, but I will say that the majority of sightings
have been later in the day not first thing in the morning or just before gate close.

I think so!! Last November we saw them early in the morning, in the last daylight and during the day (around 10-11 pm). All sightings a few km's away from Talamati.
Nice video Mama fariu

Dear Flying Cheetah, it had taken us many years of going to Kruger before we saw this herd.It was near Jones Dam, 4 rhino were drinking and I said to my hubby, quick lets get to the Rhino, he replied don't worry about the rhino check up there, and there this herd was.

We also saw Roan crossing the road on the same trip, but quite a few cars were blocking the road, I took some video, but not good enough to put on the Forum.

Regards Mama Faru

Nice, Mama!

You didn't see a crippled bull, by any chance?

Where was the roan sighting?

Lovely sighting, Mama Fariu.

We saw the Roan on the H17,between S53 and S5. North of Shingwedzi. Mama Faru

And at last, an antelope that I have searched for many years

I bet it was worth the wait Spookie

Searching for many years makes the sighting even more precious

I saw Sables... well camouflaged, on the Voortrekker road (H2-2), about 8 Km from Asfaal, end of May

I tells ya, these northern animals are darker and more shaggy!
