Kruger Safaris November 2021 Highlights

A young zebra foal turns to look at us.

Two Kruger legends; the South Shishangeni male and the last Eastern Bank male.

Impala lambs mark the start of the new safari season in Kruger.

This female who was born with a defect shows how resilient and adaptable elephants can be. First spotted in 2009 as a subadult, she was given the name Rhandzekile (meaning 'loved' in Shangaan). We are thrilled to report that she's doing remarkably well.

When you see and hear the call of the Woodland Kingfisher throughout Kruger, you know that summer has finally arrived.

This was one of our most exciting and unusual November sightings. A giraffe with a pink tongue. A giraffe's tongue is usually dark and this is the first time we've ever seen one with a pink tongue!

Shangwa, the latest leopard celebrity, is often spotted hanging around Skukuza.

A baby baboon.

The larva of the cabbage tree emperor moth.

An adorable elephant calf.

The wonderful Kruger sunsets in November.

A male lion taking an afternoon nap.

Two elephant bulls sparing with each other in the early morning.

Notice how the grass is growing. It was still short enough, though, for us to spot this African wild dog peering at us through the long blades.

These two squirrels came out of hiding to warm up in the rays of the rising sun.

Another Kruger baby; a hyena cub.

Hippo.
