Please forgive my ignorance... my only African reference thus far was Disney's The Lion King. And a great reference indeed! I found the South African land just as I had expected!
The setting |
Thorny bush and dry savanna |
Antilopes |
An impala |
A kudu (until a week ago, I had thought that was a cheap, tasteless fast-food chain from KSA) |
Zebras |
A beautiful elephant |
Look at the baby elephant, it was only a couple of days old and still struggled to walk |
And baby elephant is up on its feet again! |
A giraffe |
White rhinos |
A beautiful, big cat (also called a cheetah!) |
A cheetah female with her three cubs |
The Pride Rock... |
... and the pride! |
Mustafa/Scar (he's actually scarred on the face, and blind on the right eye) |
Grooming as any other cat would... |
Isn't he sweet? |
Sarabi (Simba's mum) |
Sweet lionesses... |
... and their darker side! Eating off a zebra kill |
The deadly buffaloes |
Shanzi and Banzai, waiting for a dinner opportunity |
Zazu! |
Rafiki |
the vultures |
the Elephant Graveyard |
Pumba! |
A beautiful place on the Indian Ocean coast, near Mozambique |
I enjoyed each of my first steps on the African continent and can only look forward to going again!
