Animals

I’ve been on quite a few game drives both here on the farm where I’m staying plus on another farm in the area called Entabeni. I didn’t bring a good camera with me so I’m depending on other team members for safari photos which I haven’t received yet. In the meantime, I’m posting some that I’ve taken.

On the last safari, you’ll be glad to know we saw the baby rhino alive and well so the lions we saw on the previous safari stalking the baby were not successful. We saw the baby rhino and his mother up close next to the game drive vehicle. We also saw giraffe, a hippo (although mostly just the top of his head in the water), zebras, wildebeests, lions, warthogs, black-backed jackals and lots of antelope-ish animals (kudu, eland, nyala).

Yesterday on a walk up the mountain, I saw gemsbock (very odd looking animals), warthogs, an albino antelope of some sort and wildebeestes. The previous day on my walk I saw sables and a black impala (normally they’re brown) and lots of monkeys (vervets) plus a lone ostrich.
