A pack of hyenas recently took to the Skukuza Golf Course in the Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga.

The hyenas reportedly took to the fifth fairway of the golf course to enjoy their kill, according to the golf club’s Facebook page.

One social media user noted that the wildlife sightings at the golf course have been thriving lately.

“Next time we play there we will certainly not be quite as nonchalant as previously. All the predators love this course, as do we.”

“I think I will just ring this hole thank you,” said another.

The Elusive Leopard

The hyeans are not the first to visit the golf course during SA’s national lockdown. Sanparks (South African National Parks) shared the footage of a leopard walking about on its social media platforms saying it was spotted by their Skukuza Golf Club camera trap.

AFRICAN WILD DOGS

Earlier this year, a pack of African wild dogs were captured on camera playing on the very same golf course.

According to TimesLIVE, videos and pictures of the pack lazing about the greens of the golf course were taken by superintendent Jean Rossouw and posted on the Kruger National Park official Twitter page on Friday 10 April 2020.

Rossouw, otherwise known as the greenkeeper, said that he’s been hard at work over the last couple of weeks doing maintenance work on the infrastructure of the golf course, and keeping it green and healthy while all his colleagues are under lockdown with their families.

Rossouw said once people had vacated the space, the lush lawns and waterways provided by the course served as a perfect playgroup for a variety of animals.

He added that while working and doing his day-to-day duties, he had come across some truly breathtaking animal sightings.

“I have witnessed lions, herds of zebras (usually too shy to come to the course to drink), rare antelopes, and even the odd wild dog pack visiting the course.”
