I've only ever seen two honey badgers...one in Orpen and one in Satara.

This is the only pic I have got. I had left a pan to soan next to the sink at Satara and forgot to wash it before going to bed. Later that night we woke to loud bang. We always leave the curtains open in Kruger so we saw straight away who the culprit was....a honey badger had knocked the frying pan onto the floor and was licking up the bit of marinade left in it! The Brat and I both grabbed cameras and started clicking away while my dad held the torch. The badger wasn’t at all worried about us, and licked the pan clean! He then turned around and disappeared, but the Brat was not satisfied with that encounter and insisted that we follow it!! So, in PJ’s and barefoot, the Brat and I followed the badger as he went from verandah to verandah looking for something else to eat.
