The stretch of the Faai loop west of the bridge is always a hotspot with a long view! O/\

Spot the aminals! lol

It was a bit overcast, but a nice docile kudu...these antelope are synonymous with that area, IMO, and could easily be the emblem for PK too! ^0^

Some more babies! ^Q^

I am not a fan of the P'kop area
Never seen much - despite my searching extensively for some of the rare antelope
And one can get lost in all those loops 0*\

Flutts and I clearly still have a problem with those loops.

But to be fair. I still get lost on those circles in Satara. :o0ps:
My 10 y o son in 2016 found it hysterically funny that he could direct me every time.
