A banded mongoose! I still have to see one
Yesterday I saw those fruits too on an enormous tree, at least I think they were the same. I'll try to find out what kind of tree it is
The elands treated you very well
And then the rain set in or at dusk the bush comes alive

LOVELY eland pics with the Lala Palms there, Pumbaa!
Your first hornbill is also a grey - a male!
Very strange waterbuck horns!
The berries/fruits are on the Natal Mahogany, a lovely evergreen that is planted in restcamps, and gardens here!

Re: And then the rain set in or at dusk the bush comes alive
Then it got extreme quiet and we only noticed a couple of kudus
before we turned into the Mahonie loop also a favourite of ours. We were welcomed by zebras
and impalas with their hitchhikers - Also here the vegetation was extreme lush and green
stopped for a smaller elephant bull
and kudu bulls who were totally relaxed.
Unfortunately the woodhoopoes were a bit far away for decent shots but therefore we found a gorgeous little kudu youngster in the grass
busy playing with its ears propeller.
That baby was simply too cute and so funny to watch and on top totally relaxed.
For sure nyalas were also around
as well as lots of impalas.

Re: And then the rain set in or at dusk the bush comes alive
For us the Mahonie loop is simply a nyala boulevard and we do see always lots of them here, families with males,
females
and smaller ones.
We had to stop nearly around each corner as more and more of them appeared
and we were glad that all of them were extreme relaxed and allowed
to take that many shots from them. Young males were also around
as well as beautiful ladies
and I suppose we stopped for nearly each nyala on the Mahonie loop as in mind the entrance was coming nearer and nearer and we simply wanted to drag our stay in the park a bit longer. Kudus we also do often see along that road
and also elephant bulls.
We nearly finished the loop when we spotted another family of ground hornbills
with even a juvenile between them.
A smaller group of buffaloes was then the last animal we stopped for and
after our obligatory ice cream and pit stop at Punda Maria we left the park.
The end - Finally!
