With the new babies out and about the worst job is babysitting duty. No one wants to look after the little rugrats. Here you can see this babysitter verbally showing their dislike of the situation.
Thanks Devey Glinister for the video

So its competition time.
two of our guides where each given a trail camera and in a month they had to get as many pictures of different animals as possible.
I want you to judge who did the best. The criteria is as follows,
Most different animals
Most rare animals (use your own discretion)
Best pictures
cuteness factor
The guides names will be kept secret to avoid favorism so they will be known as guide A and Guide B for now until we announce the winner. Pictures will be in the the next 2 posts and you can vote in the comments of this post here by commenting guide A or Guide B.
We look forward to seeing your feedback and we will announce the winner next Saturday.

These pics belong to Guide B. If you want to vote for him go to the original post and comment guide B.

This guide wanted to leave his camera in one spot for extended amounts of time to see with minimum human interference if he could get more animal activity in the area.

These pics where taken by Guide A If you want him to win comment in the original post with the following comment "Guide A"

This guide went out almost every day and checked his camera and moved it around very often to see if covering a big area would net him the win.

Look what we found this morning on tour. This is a young karoo elephant shrew.

They are part of the baby five.

Like this big five lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, you also get the little or baby five and they are the ant lion, leopard tortoise, elephant shrew, buffalo weaver and the rhino beetle.
