I got swept away on an African Safari that I recently returned home from. It was the most amazing experience that I will remember forever. I not only got to see an assortment of exotic animals, but I learned so much about each and every one. We traveled all the way from the United States to Switzerland, then to Johannesburg, and finally to Neispruit, South Africa. I went with my boyfriend and his mom and I guess you can call us world travelers now. We did the five day safari in the Kruger National Park and in Sabi Sands, but of course we wanted to stay longer. Here are just some of many photos from the trip enjoy!
Leopards are very strong and can run up to 35 miles per hour.
Giraffes have horns which are actually called ossicones. Female ossicones have more hair on them while male ossicones are more bald looking.
Zebras stripes are unique to each zebra, much like a finger print. They are very social and playful animals, also called “Mangwa”.
More than one Hyena in a group is called a clan consisting of only female. Hyena’s don’t think highly of males so males tend to walk on their own.
Baboons and Ostrich
We drove up in our jeep to the middle of an elephant “Nolovo” herd, which was one of my favorite moments
Elephants can live up to seventy years old having no real natural predator except humans
Baby elephants can be so silly…and cute of course
