Re: Finally KTP
Great photos of the cobra. But I'm not their best friend having had one in a unit once

Love them and we didn't get to see many of them on our last trip because they were well able to vanish in the looooong grass.

Re: Finally KTP
Yeah it was turning into a fun day of interesting sightings
Was a very nice snake RP... I had been hoping we might see one on the trip so was great to catch this one
I'm still a fan of the cobras... although I'm not sure I'd want one too close like inside
Thanks Pumbaa, those foxes were a real treat
I'm with you on the Aoub side for foxes nan after this trip

Re: Finally KTP
There was nothing much at Gunong so we turned to head back south towards TR. Our luck with 'different' sightings continued when past Melkvlei some movement caught my eye as a honey badger crossed the road
Like all badgers this one was constantly busy and on the move, but it was quite a good view as it moved along a hillside




It was starting to get hot, and so herds were moving to find shade

However other animals such as this jackal and gemsbok seemed quite happy to be out and about




We found a secretary bird close to the road and it found a mid-morning snack


And then it turned into a day at the races as some young springbok came shooting past whilst the adults looked on bemused

Re: Finally KTP
Lovely pics, Peej!
I like the shade one, for some reason.
Interesting those bumps at the bottom of the lambs' ears?
And ratel there too!
