The superintendent of Skukuza Golf Course in Kruger National Park, Jean Rossouw, must have the best job during lockdown, looking after a course that seems to have become a favourite haunt of lions, hyenas and other animals.
Rossouw and other SANParks staff have been posting great photos and videos of animals on social media during the lockdown. The latest video is particularly good, as lions and leopards casually cross the greens.
