Another first timer for us in KNP
3 BEFs who after inspecting us scampered away

A number of Steenbokkies around

A Karoo Korhaan

We saw more animals on this evening drive than what we had seen in Feb...just shows that they are there...arid, but full of life.

I had such a chuckle at your primate lookout. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Really funny little critters. As for your BEFoxes.. these animals are very much on my "want to see" list. They are just filled with charm. Beautiful RHB 8) lovely pose, stunning colours.

More please.
