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.

Lesser kudu?

He has seen better days and all he has left now is a beautiful set of horns.

Gorgeous kestrel :clap:

Karoo NP. the more I see of it. the more I like it. BEF-Wow. A sighting to cherish! Lovely TR. Beautiful Photos. Maybe a Melanistic Kudu or Leucistic Kudu???

I had such a chuckle at your primate lookout. :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

lovely pose, stunning colours.

More please.

:popcorn:

KNP used to entice the Kruger readers early on...we do get there

Would be interesting to know from the experts about the kudu.... :hmz:
