An eventful trip... to Kgalagadi *

[nan]

even a big cat could be surprised by... a carcass -O

[nan]

even a female mark her territory

she was very diligent, it was funny to observe
took a certain time to do that very carrefully

[nan]

She was very thisty

Then she disappear in the bush… again




A global vision

Safran is beautiful and you got a fantastic time with here!
Just awesome!

You know, this time was the first time ever that we saw eland at Eland.
On our past visits I kept complaining where the name givers were when we drove past the waterhole.

In Aoub river around Montrose, there is Miera
She makes a lot of attention, and she shows herself almost every day
Sometimes only to go lie down in the cliff, she is always in move

[nan]

Even mark at her passage



another time to catch a squirrel (behind a big tree ) to the dismay of friends

[nan]

and finally trying, I think to recover his prey, stolen by hyenas and guarded by one of them




she is too young to play... with Hyenas

[nan]

Kudus


It was a long time that I had no more seen Kudu, only one or two females
This time is done, 5 beautiful males at Lockardt Craig, one with the biggest horns I have seen

I think, thanks to the Elands, a lot of Kudus escaped from Lions

[nan]

and a herd at Grootkolk ... it made me think of my first stay in this wonderful camp
Provided that it never changes

so beautiful antelopes in the light of Grootkolk






Such beautiful Antelopes and peaceful… not like Gnus or Zebras -O

à suivre...

[nan]

divers birds


I saw again many birds, the most interesting may be this
Striped Kingfisher/Martin-chasseur strié


allow me only one picture... and flew away

and this Purple Roller / Roller varié



It doesn't seem to have already seen them in the park
