Some Rarer Sightings
Addo has plenty of species which I'm yet to see, but here are a selection of some that you definitely don't see on every visit
Meerkat
There are at least 2 meerkat mobs within the park. This chap was part of a family around the Domkrag loop area.
Whilst this treekat lives near Harpoor
Scrub Hare
A few of you will have seen these on the Addo webcam at night. The best chance of photographing them is very early morning - this was on the track up towards Carols Rest.
Yellow Mongoose
There's potential to see these anywhere in the park, but they're easy to miss being small.
Eland
Perhaps it isn't so rare to see these magnificent animals in Addo, but they're often too far away to photograph. The Vukani Loop in the south of the park can be a great place to spot them if you're there 1st thing in the morning.
Steenbok
Until recently I hadn't come across these in Addo... but here's proof that they are there. And after spotting one, I saw another about 10 minutes later
Bushpig
The best chance of seeing a bushpig is early in the morning as most of their activity is nocturnal. This one was in a small valley in the south of the park just past marker 30.
