On our way to the Memorial Gate on the 2nd of April, as we were heading home from a wonderful week in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, we got distracted by these rambunctious Baboons! I think they must’ve watched a rugby game at some point…
With one exception, these are all Joubert’s photographs.
Baboons playing “King of the Castle”?

Great captures by Joubert. I guess you all probably had almost as much fun as the baboons while watching and photographing all the action.

Most primates when young play just like our own children, and they have a lot of fun. Joubert did a great job of photographing these family of baboons. Thank you, D. 🙂
