It is always great to watch that many buffaloes, Mel
That jumping jackal is a fantastic shot

Glad you all liked the jackal For some reason I find them hard to capture in Addo. Actually they are more photogenic than their KTP Cousins,
but unfortunately more skittish at the same time too.
On with some ellies, before I finish this one off with my Special sightings
(And then there is still Mountain Zebra )

These are some individuals from all over the park and after the rain when the big herds were a Thing of the past
This one was feeding Close to the Windmill Waterhole
There was actually a black-headed heron hunting Close by but I never got a decent shot of both of them in one Frame.
Looked quite funny though - the heron all of a sudden seemed very small in presence of the ellie.
Another day, same area - on a Mission:
At Harpoor
That's the one we were watching while you were at Spekboom, PJL.
At Windmill Waterhole:
Again, another day, at Windmill Waterhole:
The lady in here was the reason for his, uhm, state...

In the Southern Section and through the windscreen because I wanted to get hold of the Little ones before all of them disappeared into the bush.
And a Family Walking disappearing into the shrubs on Ngulube Loop after having caked themselves with the red mud at Fourways waterhole

Beautiful pics, Mello!
Ja, the smaller animals seem to be darker and more shaggy down there, maybe it's the cold?
