Winter Migration To MZNP

Looks like all the antelope are shaggier there in the Colony, Peej?


Nice pics, look just the same when they are attachments!

Thanks everyone.... there is more to that episode but somehow attaching pics broke my connection to the site and then eskom kicked our power out to bring a total halt to posting

There's a specific corner on Ubejane Loop where we always seem to find gemsbok resting

This time around we were lucky to see quite a few youngsters as well

Cute little gemsbok

The black wildebeest seems to come from another planet

Great pics, Peej! My power off so they come out nicely on my HD laptop!

Shaggy gemsbok!

Lucky shot of the three wildebeest I only know them to mess about and to form a messy heap than a symmetric line

Thanks everyone for the comments... for some reason every time I post a set of pics I get blocked from the site for a day

So still on the same topic of regulars... springbok and red hartebeest are quite literally found all over the place in the park. Up on the higher sections as well as in the valleys

My last two entries here are perhaps not always quite so regular. Eland are generally seen in the quieter areas and they don't stick around much for pics!

And lastly the buffalo seem to stick in a single herd, so it's just your luck as to whether you find them or not. They were hanging out near Doornhoek dam for a couple of days but deep in the bush. We got lucky with a bull who was bringing up the rear of the herd who popped out into the open

I love the pic of the two eland bulls

[Richprins]

Grand buffalo as well!

They also from Addo, Peej?
