Subadult hippos are often found play fighting and jumping straight out of the water, playing what can only be described as a type of ”tag”, chasing each other biting, jumping and then starting all over again or until the adults call them back towards the sleeping pod.

A number of granite koppies protrude sharply from the gently undulating landscape – these are a series of inselbergs that run in an east-to-west direction across central southern Kruger. One of these is Mathekenyane Koppie (385m) (also known as Granokop), which offers wonderful views of the escarpment to the west and the landmarks of Ship Mountain, Legogote and Pretoriuskop.

A close relative of the Kudu and Nyala, the bushbuck is a rather large antelope which relies on vegetation for cover. Bushbuck can be found in most of sub-Saharan Africa, especially in areas where it can easily be concealed. Bushbuck will live anywhere from sea level to mountain-tops in all types of habitats from rainforest to sub desert terrain. The colour varies depending on geographic location. Eastern and southern bushbuck are yellow in colour with relatively few markings. Northern and western bushbuck are reddish coloured with stripes and spots. Both sexes darken with age.
