I have always wondered what the rarest mammal in Kruger is and if I would ever see it...but I thought it would be nice to get other people's opinions on it!
I would say between the Brown Hyena, Aardwolf and Striped Polecat. How about you guys?

I saw an Aardvark, with Raymond, around Berg-en-Dale
I tried to have a picture, but the lamp was not so well holding
... and I've got only ears
... but ears

I don't believe that the brownie is rare in KNP... I believe they are non existent
There was sighting by a ranger in 2001 I believe and apparently one then in 2010 so I think they only cruise through but one actually living in the Park
Things that is actually rare in my eyes are the pangolin, aardvark, roan, sable... you don't see them every

A brownie has been sighted in the parks again a week or 2 ago.
Confirmed by a ranger.

In which area? Is there photographic proof?
