Africa Wild

Don't worry blesbok i will bring some rain so that the newborns will have some new grass to eat

Great start!! Roy and Nomad are handsome guys! Cute blesbok.

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!

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

I'll hold you to that Alf
The park really needs some rain

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

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

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

New waterhole sounds amazing

Oh that empty camp area is awesome

Sunset wow

Very good, Peej!

I love waterholes...

Obviously no oxpeckers there?

Campsite looks neat and in order as always!
