Thanks Alf, Lis, RP, Mel, Flutts & Pumbaa for popping in

It seems that now even flickr are going down the route of very limited image hosting
So for the rest of this report I'll do my best with attaching the images....

The Regulars
Some of the regular sightings in the park seem to happen in exactly the same places along the same roads on our trip... I wonder sometimes if the animals live in specific locations the entire year

Kudu aren't seen nearly as often as when we visit Addo, but the Wilgerboom valley heading downstream from the main camp seems to be a particularly good area to see them

Blesbok and Black Wildebeest prefer the higher plateaus and they're a constant companion around Rooiplaat and up at the top of the Juriesdam trail

Blesbok with winter coat? (I don't know if they grow a longer fur during winter, but it looks like it )

A very handsome kudu bull

Stunning antelope shots, PJL

The kudus are not seen as regularly as in Addo but most of them are just as skittish
