Africa Wild

He was watching the springboks and it seemed as if he was going to hunt



While we were watching, somehow this little one had appeared – it was very close by, but I think Caster’s cub could not see it as a car was blocking his view



We stayed until 08:30 am. Then we had to leave as we were still to have breakfast and to check out and I wanted to be in Grootkolk early.

On the way to Grootkolk we saw red hartebeest



the jackals at Cubitje Quap



red hartebeest again

wildebeest



and a bateleur at Polentswa

and lappet-faced vultures at Kannaguass

We arrived at Grootkolk at 1:15 pm and were allocated unit 3. I was so disappointed when we were told that we were not allowed to put out bird baths.



Thus, it was a boring afternoon as there were no animals at the waterhole either.Only some sociable weavers were around



But it turned out much better when I finally had a chance to talk with Wanda and her SO.

At 5:15 pm we went on an afternoon drive to Unions End. North of Geinab we had the first ever sighting of a warthog in KTP

We saw red hartebeest, crowned lapwing, yellow mongoose, squirrels

and another first, a puffadder

In the evening we saw this tree rat



and watched this little one catching insects

As we were about to leave for our mornig drive, some kudus appeared. Of course, we stayed to take some pictures.
