Sunset over Pilanesberg.
Lisa Glenn's mom and sister visited recently. Katie, the sister, didn't love guinea fowl. It's a bird with polka dots and a blue head -- what's not to love?!
This was either a crested francolin or common quail, I'm not sure. One of them had a club foot and had become quite adept at begging food from humans.
A red hartebeest.
The red hartebeest grazes near a blind on Mankwe dam.
Young giraffe.
He looks like he's smiling, doesn't he?
A white rhino with some kind of fungus on his belly.
In SA, they call the white stripes painted on the road to indicate a pedestrian walkway a "zebra crossing". Here's a real zebra crossing!
Some of the big grey louries, also called the go-away bird. Not because his call sounds like those words, but because a particular call of his warns other animals that a predator is around.
An African darter dries his feathers.
An enormous, old elephant. The breeding herd was about 5K away. He'd been set out to pasture, so to speak.
Some hippos napping in the sun.
A skinny white rhino.
Female kudu.
Vervet monkeys and guinea fowl line the road.
This monkey seemed to be posing.
Another pod of hippos in the sun.
One of them moves around.
Yellow-billed hornbill. Isn't he the Guiness bird?

That sunset picture worked out nicely! Glad we stopped. Will send the crimson-breasted boubou pic soon.
