Baboons and Monkeys of the Kruger - Public sightings gallery

Unread post by Jan van Wyk »

What will Kruger be without the Baboons? :hmz: :hmz:
I decided to open a thread for the majestic Baboons of Kruger. Millions of visitors had spend some time at a Baboon troop and enjoyed all the interaction and photographed them at leased one time.

Lets share and enjoy all the sightings and bring them into our homes until our next visit.... :hmz:


Please upload and share..... :pray:

:clap: :clap: :clap: Everyone.

Each :cam: tells a story or will make for brilliant captions. I think we can launch a book from this collection and proceeds back to Kruger :hmz: My mind is working overtime with a story for this family.

Goronta = 'Super trooper'. :wink:

Jan = '...this is a large one...it going to hurt just a bit..." :D

isinkwe, = "bring me a Millers, my hands are full (of feet) :roll:"

Jan = "Millers...all I got is to taste is the cap... :wall: "
