In the North of the park, there are several areas of vast open plains. While these areas are sometimes a bit bleak, at this time of the year, when there’s still some grazing to be found, some animals choose it as home, safe from many of the predators.
Other animals cross the plain to reach the river and surrounding lagoons. As we passed through in late evening, we found this bull Kudu ambling towards the thickets along the edge of the grassland. He didn’t seem to be any hurry, and stopped to chat with the Impalas as he passed!
