how about the white tailed mongoose??

only ever seen one(the person i was with lives in KNP and he said it was only the second he had ever seen)


OTOH, saw one crossing the N4 in March en route KNP, and saw a family in Bakgatla camp, ran past our chalet a few times

Just for interest sake - some of the rarer South African mammals are more readily seen
in "other" conservation areas :-

Samango monkey :- Cape Vidal & Oribi Gorge
Red Duiker – Cape Vidal & StLucia village [ Also Wyllies Poort North of Louis
Trichardt town – The Soutpans Berg stretches East to KNP [ Punda Maria ],
have they ever been observed there ?
Aard Wolf – Esemvelo Nature Reserve N-E of Brinkhortspruit plus game farms in
Pongola area.
Brown Hyena – Esemvelo Nature Reserve
White tipped mongoose – common nocturnal camp visitor in KTFP
Blue Duiker – common in all coastal forested areas in residential areas of Natal coast
and as far South as East London coastal forested areas.

Thanks for the added info 100ponder - I see that we live in the same town

They are very often seen on the drives in Mountain Zebra too.
