Found in the Botanical Garden in Windhoek on 5th December 2018. Any idea on which genus/species appreciated.

Regards

Roger

4 could be a different one, photographed a few mins later in a different area of the garden.

Subfamily Asilinae, not entirely sure beyond that. The ovipositor is distinctive, so there may be hope for a genus ID (eventually).
