African animals

Hyaena with very strong neck and dark spots on the body become duller with age.



There are many little herds of Impala through out the park one dominant male and approx 15 to 40 females a very busy boy, the Impala is also used as a table meat peter tried the meat and thought it was a beautiful tasting meat very lean.
Impalas - O Peter adorou a carne de impala




We saw a lot of Buffalos - (one of the big five) some of the herds were 100 and more strong and then there are the bachelor groups 5 or 6 beasts








We also saw lots of elephant herds a
majestic animal.





White Rhinoceros - this is a bull big and powerful almost poached to extinction for there horn.


A Buffalo calf about one year old, so much like our domesticated cattle.






Leopard- its a beautiful cat - We tracked it through the bush and was not phased by the vehicle or us a strange thing to be part of.




just relaxing, and there were three vehicles 3 metres away from it not bothered at all.


WildeBeest - another herding animal can travel in groups of 10 to 50000 but this one was happy on his own.
