Day 185: Mountain Zebra National Park

October. Wow.

Tonight wasn't quite as cold; it's cloudy.

We drive back and forth through the park, enjoying the views and the landscape, and enjoying the animals. Very tranquil.

A highlight is the secretary bird, which we haven't seen in a long time. Did we ever notice that it tramples its prey to death quite viciously?

We are absolutely thrilled with this park, which is simply a "total work of art." Not big, but with enough easy and somewhat challenging trails. Animals without making you feel like you're in a zoo. Not so many visitors that you're not completely alone every now and then. And spectacular views of the surrounding area.
