I have never seen them in the Kruger, only much more in the north : Chobe, Hwange, Caprivi...

Here is one seen during my last trip in Namibia, at Mahango National Park:

I haven't seen a Sable since I was a kid.
It's on my "must see" list every trip. Always try the area west of Satara which is supposed to be where their strong hold is, but never get lucky

It is a small reserve, on the western side of the Caprivi Strip, south of the town of Divundu. The park is bordered by the Okavango river.

Sounds like a great location \O

Is Namibia cheaper than Botswana? I would think so -O-
