Re: Addo Outings
A caracal - awesomeness! Such beautiful cats 
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
Re: Addo Outings
What to say PJL,
fantastic Lion shots and glad you could see them so close - Great allie, buffalo and eland sightings - Not to forget about the Denham's and the caracal

Re: Addo Outings
It has been a remarkable week in Addo... not for myself but others have seen an aardvark on 6 of the past 8 days whilst a friend saw a striped polecat on Sunday!!!

Absolutely Lis!
I actually popped in on one of the 2 days when the aardvark didn't show up

Re: Addo Outings
Definitely a healthy sign RP
I've been in on a couple of visits recently in the hope of spotting the elusive aardvark, but with no such luck yet. However each visit had some other memorable sightings
On Mbotyi loop, this enormous buffalo herd wouldn't fit in the frame of my camera
There were also plenty of herds of red hartebeest and zebra around. It has been very dry in the park, but the herd animals still seem to be thriving at the moment.
There were a couple of ellies drinking and having a bit of a face-off at Lismore water hole (otherwise known as the windmill water hole... there have been some 'official' names released to some new spots recently
)
A trip down to Arizona brought along a highlight for this particular visit - a bushpig couple
They were extremely difficult to see due to high vegetation near the road, so there was only really one spot that I could photograph them as they walked through a very small clearing... the video shows them both
