Graaff-Reinet to Mountain Zebra National Park, South Africa

24 - 25 Nov 07

The highlands of Eastern Karoo

25 November 2007. The day dawned warm and sunny, so before it got too hot we went for a short walk near the Mountain Zebra Lodge where we saw lots of rock dassies and nesting weavers in a tree outside one of the bungalows. We then drove around the game reserve and saw baboons, blesbucks with their distinctive white faces, small reedbucks, springboks, Cape mountain zebras, wildebeests, elands, red hartebeests, and jackals. Just outside our bungalow, it was rock dassies that dominated the scene on the first morning. On the second morning it was vervet monkeys that occupied our terrace.
