Africa Wild

Another bat-eared fox, this time from a close range, nice looking animal We loved to see this white-faced scops owl, the eyes are just amazing Another african wild cat, this time we got a better sighting And the last animal spotted before returning to Twee Rivieren was this genet A very pleasant and productive game drive I would say.

You really got some great sightings just a pity that it is dark

Grand, Pedro, and great owl pics, it is tough at night!

Ja...lions in camp!

Surely it is not a brilliant idea to have domestic chickens in a National Park these days, what with all sorts of diseases going around?

I never knew that staff are allowed to keep poultry It can also attract wild animals, like in this case Not necessarily lions, but genets, servals and African wild cats

Awesome! I have yet to see a genet in the KTP and wild cats and bat eared foxes are always a welcome sighting.
As are owls and meerkats Well done!

Glad to hear the resident Twee owl is still around. Hopefully breeding and hopefully with a youngster by the time we get there.

Pedro,

you had a more than a successful night drive with lots of stunning sightings - My favourites are the wild cats, the batties and the owls here

Good sightings and some nice pics, especially the owls.

If it wasn´t dark we wouldn´t have seen those animals .

You can read about the lions in the camp episode in a post at sanparks forum, one forumite was camping and got the scare of his life .

The chicken part either it was a joke from the ranger or I may have misanderstood, so I can´t confirm that part.

Those were graeat sightings but the meerkats we got to see them from very close, I loved them, IMO they are the most funny animal in the park.
