Hi All, My best sighting of Eland yet - about 20 km north of Shingwedzi last December.

This splendid bull had a harem of 8 females

Great sighting bondm!!!

Good evening, Mr Bond.

Well done!

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

Samoesawoestyn you had wonderfull sightings of these noble antelope.

Samoesawoestyn , those are moesasightings

Thanks guys! I guess the luck was on our side!!

Luck is on the side of those who plan their trips, travel slowly, have patience and of course are at the right place at the right time and then go there for the right reasons.

Had a best ever Cape Point eland day a few weeks back on a hike down Hoek Van Bobbejaan way. Came across a big herd of at least 45 in the valley behind the ridge. Then a couple hours later encountered a very young possibly abandoned calf between the shore and the base of the ridge. We then came across a further 2 adults about kilometer further down the path from the calf up against the slopes. A real treat

nice .... I hope to see one... or more in Kruger... soon

This lone bull near Elandskuil in Northen Kruger end Sept!

This is one of my very old printed photo's. I have always asked myself what the rhino was saying to the eland!!

Ok...I'll fall for that...


"Mine's bigger than yours!"

Oh lucky you for your sighting of an eland

Last time we saw was this one in 1970 , in Pretoriuskop area
