There are plenty in Skukuza at night. We have had them in trees around the braai, on the veranda and sitting on the roof watching

A walk with a torch always produces \O

That is not a unusual spot, but it is a rare animal in the Kruger, a Roan Antelope, with a calf (hidden in front of the adult), seen on the S50 south (it is difficult enough to see a rare animal, so I don't have unusual spot on top of that)

Well done, Dingwe! Extremely rare with a baby...they keep them hidden although that one may be a bit older? \O

Thanks all :-)

I have no idea how old the calf could be. I did not notice it at the time and saw it only on the photographs back at home. A pity, as I would have tried to get a better picture of it...
