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”?

This is just asking for a caption competition lol.
Thank you, Linda!
Great captures by Joubert. I guess you all probably had almost as much fun as the baboons while watching and photographing all the action.
Delays like this when you’re on the way to the gate really is always most welcome! Thank you, Carol.
They would be fun to watch and capture photos. Joubert did a nice job!
Thanks a lot, John!
Strong work, Joubert! You captured their joy and mischievous spirits perfectly!
Thank you very much for the kind comment, Lori!
Welgedaan Joubert! Jy het ‘n paar laagvatte en skrums daar vasgevang! Ek het die foto’s nou vreeslik geniet!
Baie dankie, Corna – ek sal jou gawe kommentaar vir Joubert wys sodra hy van die skool af kom.
A wonderful variety of action pictures!
Thank you, Anne. I think Joubert did himself proud with these.
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. 🙂
I’ll pass your kind comment to my son, thanks H.J!
