African Grey Hornbill/Calao à bec noir

Kudus

It was a long time that I had not more seen Kudu, only one or two females. This time is done, 5 beautiful males at Lockardt Craig, one with the biggest horns I have seen

I think, thanks to the Elands, a lot of Kudus escaped from Lions

big horns

and they went





such beautiful Antelopes, and peaceful... not like Gnus or Zebras

and a herd at Grootkolk ... it made me think of my first stay in this wonderful camp
Provided that it never changes

and in the light of Grootkolk

but I missed the "right time at the right place"

Squirrels are the nightmare of Eric, from Urikaruus
They are so playful, he always has to go after them to recover stolen property
That day, it is a plastic bottle ...
The last photo is taken by my camera trap ...





Eric

Another chance... this morning, in the middle of the road

A mating pair of Ostriches... she enjoying poking in the sand on the side of the road

wonderful ballet

No chance
