Re: Back to Mountain Zebra



Lovely winter colours (even though it is summer).

There seem to be lots of lion-coloured rocks and antheaps too, must be a nightmare, Peej!

As if those wildebeest aren't ugly enough!

Re: Back to Mountain Zebra
Great to see some different animals like blesboks and black wildebeests and also old friends like Roy and Nomad
It still looks very dry up there

Re: Back to Mountain Zebra
I'll hold you to that Alf

The park really needs some rain

Roy and Nomad are great lions

Lots of baby buck around this trip

Yeah pretty much any animal except the wildebeest blends in to the park landscape like you wouldn't believe


Good test of the eyes

Thanks Lis... yep far too dry

Re: Back to Mountain Zebra
Heading back to camp we went past the lions again but they were more flat out than ever. Still, it was a highlight to see them and we never had more than 2 other cars with us at the sighting

Back down on Ubejane loop we caught sight of some scurrying movement which turned out to be a small meerkat family

At the exit of the loop a kudu was braving some thorns... the price you pay for a meal I guess

Just before you get to camp, they have introduced a new waterhole since our last visit called Monkeyland. It's a good spot to check for visitors coming in for a drink and we had a nice herd of buffalo move in whilst we were checking it out



That rounded off our day nicely... it was time to braai and enjoy the virtually empty campsite and stunning sunset

Re: Back to Mountain Zebra
WOW, that must have been a nice feeling to have the camp site virtually for yourselves.
Hope you didn't feel lonely there
Great to see Roy and Nomad again. For you that is. Me, they never graced me with their presence in Addo,
so I might have to trek to Mountain Zebra for another chance. And looking at them, I might not want to
wait for too much longer. They do look a bit older by now and certainly had their share of fights, judging
by their scars.
Never seen little blesboks. Very cute they are

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: Back to Mountain Zebra
Very good, Peej!
I love waterholes...
Obviously no oxpeckers there?
Campsite looks neat and in order as always!
