• Tsessebes !

    March 8, 2024 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 40 °C

    The name sounds like a bunch of flies, but the tsessebes are some of the rarest bucks in Kruger park, with only 220 of them overall (against 152 000 impalas, for example, or 13 750 elephants). So we were impressed to hear that a fellow visitor had seen them on TWO occasions yesterday.
    But we were also prepared!

    And today we saw them!
    Not once,
    Not twice,
    But THREE separate times!

    I'm sure we are seconds from getting a trophy or something...

    PS: my camera+ binocular Frankenstein pictures are not perfect, but you get the idea.
