Baboons on the road

Luckily they always ran. Not sure what i'd have done if they decided to stand and fight. A dominant male Baboon has bigger canines than a Lion!



High mountain grassland

This is high on the escarpment, which drops away steeply to the lowveld, about a kilometer to the right of this shot. You can see the road to Graskop in the distance. I think you'll agree this is a nice change after three weeks of desert?

Hornbill

As requested Jon, here's looking at you. This is a Southern Yellow Billed Hornbill (back at the Rhinos). I see these all the time walking along by the side of the road.
