This troop of vervet monkeys kept us thoroughly entertained on the last morning of our recent visit to Marakele National Park. While the adults just wanted to warm their old bones in the first rays of golden sunshine, the boisterous youngsters had a lot of pent up energy to get rid of!

Great shots, Dries. Monkeys have the edge over us humans. They can just play and have fun all day. No school, no work, no mortgage, no worries. 😀

Seeing as we are monkeys of sort, it should be easy to adopt their philosophies! But society frowns upon us trying…

You are so right Maurice! Even just watching them go about their lives puts me in a calmer frame of mind (even when they’re being naughty!)

Thanks Pat! We agree entirely, who needs tv or the theatre when there’s so much drama, comedy, thillers out in the wild outdoors!

I recently a funny run-in with monkeys (not sure of the species) in Cambodia! Not so funny at the time when they were chasing us, but very funny afterwards. You’ve given me a great idea to do a post on that day 🙂

Ek is mal oor apies se streke…mooi vasgevang,Dries!Dis nogal moeilik om hulle af te neem,want hulle beweeg heeltyd en hul sterte is so lank,dat hulle ewig buite die foto is.😜

Dankie Dina! Gelukkig was ons nie haastig om te gaan oppak en ry nie, en die oggendson het so mooi gesit, dat ons n hele paar minute by hierdie troppie kon spandeer en hul aapstreke dophou.
