Dag 16: Met Natascha naar Skukuza camp in Kruger

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

We go the same way to the Skukuza camp, now with Natascha. An oncoming car points out a honey badger, which we indeed find. Usually the badger is only active at night, but this one apparently found something tasty. In the Skukuza camp there are beautiful sunbirds. They are very active. If the photos are- successful, the birds are very beautiful. We also see a Nile monitor again. That is the name of the iguana that we see several times near puddles.

We eat in the old station, which serves as a restaurant and boarding point for the train hotel parked on the bridge.
