Hamadryas Baboons

Awash Park

I was only in the park for one afternoon and one morning (the latter to be spent on the opposite side looking for oryx). I was fortunate to find this small group on a low lying cliff. But unfortunately they were strongly backlit. One could have tried getting up the cliff from another direction but the baboons would have likely lost their sense of security and not tolerated an approach on foot.
Here a female grooms a male.
