Some pictures of the magnificent landscapes of Golden Gate Park. I stayed at Glen Reenen Rest Camp, very close to this rock formation :

Not in the park, but just before arriving from the east, the Sterfontein Dam :

The Park is crossed by a regional road, and most of the cars do not respect the speed limit. We don't see many animals from this main road, we have to take the few other minor roads to seen them. Here are some of the animals that we can spot in the Park :


Blesbok :

Eland, who thinks he is a Klipspringer :

Black Wildebeest :

Ground Woodpecker :

Not so rare, but a lifer for me, the Cape Longclaw :
