Small Spotted Genet on the Prowl

The small spotted genet differs from the large spotted genet (Genetta tigrina) not in physical size, but in the size of the spots. The two types can usually be told apart by the tail - the large spotted genet, in addition to its larger spots, has a black-tipped tail, while the small spotted genet's tail has a tip that is a paler, buffy white color.

Location: The Kruger National Park is South Africa's flagship wildlife reserve and offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa.

Established in 1898, the park covers nearly 2 million hectares and is home to an amazing diversity of flora and fauna, including 507 different birds and 147 types of mammal.

Kruger Park is mainly a self-drive destination with a good infrastructure of roads, waterholes, picnic sites, and restcamps. For those visiting the park on safari, accommodation options include chalets, cottages, bungalows, tents, caravan and camp sites or bushveld camps, bush lodges and private, luxury safari lodges.
