South African animals



Giraffes

Caterpillars moving together as a line


Elephants

Rhinoceros and baby




It was close, but not close enough to stick his trunk in the car

Early morning bird watching



Bushbuck

Impalas - very frequent in the park, Lydia calls them "palas"


On the left hand side - Lilac Breasted Roller bird - even more beautiful in flight

Hornbill

The smudge at the top of the tree is an African Fish Eagle

Vervet Monkeys



Zebra and Wildebeest

Baboon



Steenbock

Warthogs

Kudu



Hyena

She really enjoyed looking at the Elephants


On a high rock, looking out over the African wild



She turned around and posed and said "cheese", guess that means she wants her picture taken




Hippos



Water Buffalo

Through the trees on the beach the tan lumps are lions



Sleeping Lydia


That is a fruit bar in her mouth that she fell asleep while eating





She had already seen giraffes up close so I didn't wake her up
