In addition to the Big Five, Africa is home to many fascinating small animals. We’ve seen more in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park than anywhere else.
It’s the Little Things

Rare Sightings (to Us) in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Ghost herd, daft bird. Desert shower, wildflower. Small cats, water spats. High heads, rooftop beds. Flat tires, gemsbok spires. Twelve things the day brings.

Kgalagadi: Quelea Mob and a New-to-us Species
I don’t imagine anyone comes to Africa to see a quelea swarm at a water hole, but maybe they should. It’s fascinating! So are cheetahs, of course.
