Day 8 - AM pt 2

On the way to see the buffalo we also saw these guys and a couple of their girlfriends.

These are Kudu. Sometimes called the Grey Ghost of Africa.

They really blend in well and have an uncanny ability to disappear in just a few meters.

Their horns are amazing.

But not as amazing as the horns on the buffalo.

These old guys are crazy looking with these huge head pieces.

We saw an entire herd of buffalo and got there just in time as they crossed the property line. Later we would see more, but not this many in one place.

After they got across the road our guides broke out tea and coffee and snacks. They certainly did take good care of us.

Back in the trucks for some more viewing.

We saw a troop of baboon.

We watched as they posted sentinels to watch us.

The young were latched on to their mother's underside as they made their way across the field.

We saw way too many birds to list them all or post their pictures.

We saw more giraffe and zebra and steenbok and rhino and dwarf mongoose and bush buck.

On the way into the camp we saw these water buck grazing in the field.

The first day we saw several male water buck laying in the brush but this was the first good look we got of a female.

It wouldn't be the last.
