Like the dassie against the blue sky a lot!

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Yip! Apparently only seen in the Western Section of the Park. They are very skittish, like most of the animals.Toko wrote:![]()

Zebra are a special find there, are they Hartmann's?

All round, we found the Western Section a very well-kept secret.
When we mentioned it to the driver on the night drive he agreed that that part is totally ignored because the park is mostly used as overnight stop and it is quite remote. Also not REALLY recommended for a sedan, especially after good rains.
