I used the Canon Eos 7D and the 300 mm f/2.8 IS USM in combination with 1.4 extender (first photo) and the 2x (second photo).

Impisi... I would go for Mosambique Spitting Cobra!
Wildtuinman, is right ... that picture of snake is a Skaapsteker!
The black snake is a Mole snake!

That's an Olive Grass snake (Psammophis mossambicus). Even though they are venomous the venom is not considered dangerous to humans. It's quite sad to see how many dead ones are seen in the KNP!

Nice specimen of an Olive Grass Snake! You don't perhaps have a clear picture of the head?

I will try to get one - at this moment the snake was still alive....10 seconds later a car drover over it without taking a single look :( - although we were standing next to the snake and made pics of it....
