The open landscapes of the Karoo National Park really shows off the wildlife that inhabit this arid environment to great effect – in this case a beautiful gemsbok that we saw this morning just after sunrise.

Such a beautiful beast. I love the markings and long slender horns.
They’re really impressive!
Just love Karoo National Park and the campsite is awesome.
Definitely one of the best camping grounds in the country!
You have the best rambles!
Thank you, Kathy! We like to think we’re blessed in that way too.
Like a painting!

So regal! What a presence…
Majestic in every sense, Lori. Undoubtedly.
That’s a big guy! Long horns as spears. Thanks, D. 🙂
And as weapons they’re as deadly as they look, those horns!
So beautiful silhouetted in the morning light.
A real Prince among the antelopes!
Gemsbok are magnificent antelope – it is great to see the horns of this one against the sky.
They are regal antelope for sure, Anne.
