So Many Animals...

What amazing wildlife we saw in South Africa, some I had never even heard of before :
Giraffe
Zebra
Nyala
Blue Wildebeest
Red Hartebeest
Impala
Springbok
Bush big
Wild boar
Hippo
Kudu
Water Buffalo
Monkeys – 12 different species
Lemur
Lots of Baboons – even in someone’s car!
Crocodile
Penguins on the Beach
Seals by the Ferry
Ostrich – sat on one
Ginea Fowl
Huge Blue Crane - the national bird
Crested Crane
Flamingos
Peacocks
As well as loads of other birds including parrots perched on Grammy and caught in Daddy’s hair!

And those are only the ones Zachary saw really close up!

At a greater distance, we also saw:
Water buck
Bush Buck
Duiker
Mongoose
Rhino
Elephant
Ibis
Parrot fish and rainbow fish while snorkeling in Kosi Bay

And my personal favorite…an enormous Dung Beetle rolling a ball of poop the size of a softball!

Almost unbelievable, except that I was there!
