There are apparently over 20 lion in MZNP at the moment. I'm sure the youngsters will have to be moved at some stage

Have you got any info on how far the "corridor" project towards Camdeboo has evolved? Maybe, if they manage to realise that
the lions could stay as there would be a larger area to roam and not all the buffs at MZ would get eaten

What a lion sighting Considering how vast Mountain Zebra is, you would think the lions had every opportunity to avoid
people - but they gave their best to please you

Outstanding photos!!!

Today we did the link road, rooiplaat loop and kranskop loop and no cats in sight

But we did find the den of the bat eared foxes

Did you only see the den or also foxes?

We saw one small one popping out the den and 3 others running away but couldn't get any pictures of them

At least you saw them, they are not a very common sight! I have been lucky enough to see one in KTP, but from quite far away

We have never seen any before. So a first for us

Blue cranes are best found in the Overberg Wheat fields , Graaff Reinet area (Near MT Zebra ..The Karoo is their main habitat )

Well done, Alpheus! Our National Bird, after the Kentucky Fried Chicken!
