We Won An MZNP Game Drive

[Flutterby]

Nice to see a nightjar and also never seen a springhare...very cool!

[Lisbeth]

High percentage of hares Nice to see BEFs

[Pumbaa]

Indeed a very successful night drive, PJL,

and your shots you took are amazing - Love the bat eared foxes

[Richprins]

Ja, some nice pics!

Springhares and BEF great, and hares a sign of a healthy ecosystem, IMO!

Thank you Mel, nan, Flutts, Lis, Pumbaa & RP for all the comments

For our last morning in the park we ventured out for a quick drive before the packing up started. Our route took us up to Rooiplaat then down the link road, round Ubejane and back along the main road. Our first sighting of the morning was a first for me - an African Harrier Hawk or Gymnogene





On the way up to Rooiplaat there was a very cute baby zebra - probably the same one we had seen on the night drive



Just before Rooiplaat we startled an aardwolf who went bounding off into the distance



It stopped for one quick look back before disappearing over the hillside



The usual suspects were out and about on Rooiplaat





The link road was unusually quiet with just a few regulars around. This young kudu caught our attention



On Ubejane at the pan there were plenty of ostrich feeding, and some springbok having a half-hearted tussle







There had been no sign of any cats on the drive, but the aardwolf was a real treat

Aardwolf and Gymnogene!

Great photography again PJL! I especially like how you lined up those two Wildebeest.

[Flutterby]

Wow, great sightings!! And a cute zebbie too!

[Pumbaa]

Really about your aardwolf sighting, PJL,

although must say the rest with gymnogene and eland was not that bad either

[Richprins]

Stunning pics again, Peej! Ratel is very right!

Didn't you see gymnogene in Kruger?

[Mel]

Aardwolf Unfortunately not that lucky in April I'm still on the blurry one darting into the shrubs from our first trip

Never seen a gymnogene in Mountain Zebra. Great spotting
