How cute are they?!
No idea what they are, Flutts, but pretty cool to catch them climbing in a tree.

Rock Hyrax
In the Southern African subregion they occur in the inland escarpment and adjacent rocky areas in Namibia, north to the Angolan border, southern Zimbabwe, eastern Botswana, parts of north-western Mozambique, and narrowly in the west of Mozambique south of the Zambesi River; almost throuout South Africa; parts of Swaziland (not in the Lembobo Mountains) and Lesotho.[/quote]
Although they are not shown on distribution maps as occurring in KTP, these 2 photos were both taken there in 2011

that's a truly special out of range find, ExFmem.
Sorry, have been missing here and must dig out some other dassie not the rock one.

Flutty's Dassies are Rock Dassies.
On Lis' photos you see the dark patch of fur on the dorsal gland. Distincitve to distinguish some dassie species
We need still a name for nan's dassies from Tanzania
