Hyena

The smallest hyena I’ve ever seen. Its ma is obsessed with it.

Our cancellation-surfing approach to staying in Kruger worked less well than in other years we’ve done it. We ended up pinballing between camps a fair bit. Who can say why? Are more people doing it now? Are there companies grabbing cancellations and reselling? Or is it just the ‘post’-pandemic situation? Hard to say. It makes it a less appealing prospect for future trips, for sure.

Oh hai! Guess where we are again.

One more for today (had no signal this morning). We came across a hyena family - including the littlest hyena. Full of fun and playing with its siblings.

That feel when you’re only little and everything’s exciting. This little hyena was having such a good time by the pool with aunties and uncles.

A rather silly looking hyena having a frolic in a pool near their den. We found them while lost and running on fumes. The antics of this pack made it all worth while.
