Akira - those are 3 Hartebees antelope. Eland is MUCH bigger and prettier (Eland is the biggest entelope in the world). This shot was taken at sunset. Thank you for the comments :)

Elsa, thanks for the correction.  I have no sense of size of the entelope family...or of the direction on the southern hemisphere.   :o :o :o

Hot series, Elsa - I'd never heard of the Karoo but your excellent images show me that my education is sadly lacking. I agree with Paco about the wonderful sense of space; the wildlife opportunities are a bonus. I hope you have more to show.

golunvolo - The Karoo is about open spaces for sure. I swear they mostly farm rocks in those areas.
Fons - strange as the images are not big at all
Thomas - we have plenty of those here - we call them pajama donkeys
Akira - you should visit :)
David - there are enough places I have never heard of - so don't feel bad.
There is no education like traveling - I wish I could do more.

Exceptional series Elsa. I like every single one of the photos. Particularly "170617 Karoo 419" - love that sunset shot. I can imagine how harsh was the sun there. However light in your photos are so balanced; kudos!

Wonderfull series and story.

oh yes a lot has changed 35 years later - but Kruger has a life of it's own - and always worth visiting.
Thank you for your comment Bent.
