Africa Wild

Left Struisbaai and headed out along the N2 to Wilderness Ebb & Flow
We decided to take the road via Blanco to George and not all the way along the N2.
It was a wise decision as we had some more 'farm animals' to photograph which we would not have seen along the N2.

Some lovely Sable which are my favourite antelope





As well as Springbuck sharing the same camp



We were far too early to book in, so we took a drive up the hill in Wilderness to see “The Map of Africa”



The scenery is spectacular from there and for a change it was a clear day. Wilderness often has a haze and photos seem to not come out all that great



Old Outenique Chjoo chjoo tunnel
Wish it was still operational, what a fantastic scenic route this was
So many local and overseas visitors had the privilege of enjoying it once!



Those look like ants on the beach walking in pairs



As we made our way down to the entrance gate
along the way we passed the Fairy Knowe hotel, where the boys were out with their toys



Accommodation had a nice view of the river



Welcoming committee at our chalet



This pretty Bushbuck lady was also out and about, not sure if she is a resident one



I would also hang around in the gardens there, as no predators to disturb me

Lovely views. Haven't been there in years! What bird is that?

A juvenile drongo, but the tail is not showing so one or the other

I have two pics exactly like yours of "the map of Africa" and the view of Wilderness

We did the same walk as the "ants"

Cute bushbuck

wow... a new TT

love the Ants on the beach, the map of SA and the supposed Drongo

I was there... in one of the same chalet

I would also say juvenile fork tailed drongo as the tail was forked
I would guess most tourists visit "the map of Africa"

The beach is perfect for "Ants" to walk long distances and breath in the fresh air
Tranquility and peace

Flutterby, Lisbeth and nan for your comments

Very interesting again, and some great views, AN!

Sable in the Cape...wonder what for?

Shaggy bushbuck there, and foreign starling?

What foreign starling? It is a fork tailed drongo, juvenile and it is written all over the place

Drongo it is

Nice views over Wilderness - even with a bit of haze in the photo
