Kruger National Park is the most visited park in S. Africa but that is more near Swaziland. See if you can find it in your notes. You're starting well here. You've already added the common and scientific name, you just need to create a spotting for the serval in the middle photo.

Welcome! When you take the serval out of this spotting and put it separately, you could also put it in a mission called Captive Animals as these cats were in some type of cage. The mission can be found here: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7973...

Thanks! I have no idea how this app really works. I don't know where in South Africa I was, we traveled from Johannesburg to Lesotho, and I believe the game reserve was between the two. I was with a school group so I'd have to see if I wrote it down somewhere.

Welcome to Project Noah Natty. Your first photo is the female waterbuck and your third photo is the male. Your second photo is a serval - Leptailurus serval
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval. You could remove the serval and make another separate spotting for it. I've been to Africa a few times, I can help you with ID. It's also important to add where you saw this. I see it in your notes but your location says California. Where were you in South Africa?
