After three days on safari almost everyone has seen their lion. What people start to appreciate after that are the animals they drove straight past on day one.
- The honey badger — small, bad-tempered and according to Emmanuel the bravest animal in Africa
- The secretary bird, which stamps snakes to death
- Klipspringers on the kopjes, standing on their toes
- The dwarf mongoose, which lives in old termite mounds
- The bateleur eagle, recognisable by its rocking flight
Do ask your guide to stop for something small. Most guides enjoy that far more than the fifteenth photo of a sleeping lion.
