Because most people visiting the Park do all their own cooking on the braais by each hut, there are centrally located open buildings with sinks where you can wash the dishes afterward.  They also have running boiling water there for making coffee and tea.  The huts all have en suite bathrooms, but the camping areas have central ablution blocks.  Our best views of monkeys in the Park were at Berg en Dal where a group of them had just been chased out of a wash-up area where they had been checking for left goodies.

These are vervet monkeys--very cute.  They are a medium size, but the babies are very teeny and they play just like puppies would.

Here's a youngster still nursing.  You can see how their coats darken as they mature.  Unfortunately they can become a pest around the camps, coming onto the porches and stealing anything left out.

Baboons are everywhere and are an even more serious problem when they come into the camps because they can open doors and refrigerators.  When you leave the camp to go see wildlife, you are instructed to turn the fridge to the wall so the baboons cannot open it.  But they too are such fun to watch.  They are often all over the road.  Here's a typical pose--jes' a-settin' and watchin' the people going by.

This baby is still very young and it looks like he has just switched sides, doesn't it.  Mom apparently has an itch.

It's up to the baby to hang on when the mother decides to move on.

Or he can walk when he gets a little bigger.  Don't you love the Spock ears?

And when the baby is more on its own, that leaves time for Mom to sit around and check out various things to eat.
