Description: Was surprised, came across this family and on our approach the parents ran off at top speed, leaving the youngsters on the road.
On our return about 2 hours later the family was together, but the same happened, within a minute the parents were cresting the northern ridge and out of sight.
This is a new reserve, previously a De Beers mining area with public access: is this a response to hunting?
