A male Chacma Baboon, vigilant and alert, perched on a beautiful old gnarled stump keeping an eye open for any danger. The protection of the troop is a male affair and a mob of snarling males, with canines bared, will often attack and drive predators away, even a Leopard.

This Baboon’s handsomely groomed coat shines like strands of silver in the late afternoon light. Grooming serves an important social function in the troop, and is often an indication of bonds, alliances, friendships and dominance.

Chacma Baboons live in large multi-male multi-female troops, of up to 200 individuals. Their social structure and roles are complex, they are polygynandrous, i.e., both males and females freely mate with others of the opposite sex. Troops have a distinct hierarchy; friendships and alliances are formed between females, males and also between males and females. Male Baboons migrate from their natal troops while female kinship maintains the stability in the troop.

Chacma Baboon behaviour is fascinating, they are confiding, and I have often watched them for hours, caught up in the antics of the acrobatic youngsters, the bullying by juveniles, squabbling, brutal discipline, vindictiveness, grooming, flirting and plain promiscuity, all on show without a National Geographic subscription.

A simply stunning portrait by @michele_bavassano_photographer. The chacma baboon is one of five primate species present in Kruger National Park and despite its reputation of being a nuisance and pest across parts of Southern Africa, it is a complex and fascinating animal. Social hierarchies with dominant males and females, adoption of orphans by sub-adults, infanticide, troop movement and feeding on pretty much anything they can find (the word omnivorous could have been invented for baboons!) are all complex and only partially understood features of this animal. It balances the fight or flight dynamic too, being both skittish and aggressive with other animals and posing a real threat with its huge canine teeth. We’ve just added a new blog post with lots more more stories and photos from Kruger too - link via our profile above for those interested in more...! 👆🏻👆🏻 . We are building the KrugerExplorer App! It will be a beautiful wildlife field guide with detailed profiles and photos on 300+ animals plus a routes guide with over 70 of our favourite routes detailed with explanations on the landscape and what wildlife you might be able to see! The tech part of the project has taken longer than we’d hoped but we really want the App to be perfect and are hoping for a launch towards the end of June with a bit of luck. Lots more info on our website too (see above bio link) - please check it out! 👆🏻👆🏻 .

Being content is the most wonderful state of being, the realisation that nothing is more precious than dozing in the glow of the afternoon sun on an autumn day, the warmth of true friendship, the loyal love of a partner, the respect of family, the tranquillity of wilderness.

Watching this Chacma Baboon nodding off, whilst being lovingly groomed by a female companion on the banks of the Olifants River, filled me with joy, seeing such gentle intimacy at the end of a day of foraging, of shared duty, being nurtured by another, a friend, by a soulmate. I was overcome with gratitude for the generous decades of love and tenderness that I have received from the kindest, most loyal, honest and uncomplicated woman. Thank you, my love, for encouraging me to doze in the glow of my afternoon sun, I am content.
