On the B1 highway north of Windhoek we saw the occasional animal on the road during the day. I recall baboons, warthogs and one kudu. The real problem were warthogs. During the rainy reason when the grass is high at the side of the roads they are hard to see and they will scoot out on to the roadway without warning. The trick is to look for the tail which is erect when they run so you kept your eyes open for a little tuft of fur moving above the grass.
