Geocache Description:


This picnicspot has been our families favourite spot to visit over the many many years we have been visiting the Kruger. Over that period of time we have been fortunate enough to see all 5 members of the Big Five while we where having breakfast at this peacefull site.

However, whilst these are all magnificent animals, South Africa's Small Five animals make an excellent addition to your South African expedition. The Small Five are sometimes quite elusive little critters, and seeing all of the Small Five is as much of an accomplishment as seeing the Big Five.

Myrmeleontidae		 Ant Lion The antlion is an insect that makes a cone-shaped hole in the sand to trap ants. The hole at the bottom of the cone leads to the antlion’s nest. The cone acts as a funnel and unsuspecting ants are trapped when they walk into it. Antlions like to eat ants while they’re in larvae form.
You can see the little antlion holes if you look carefully on the ground in rest camps or at picnic sites.
