So, you might have been wondering what animals we actually saw while on safari. We thought we’d answer that question with a little photo essay. Keep in mind that we did not (unfortunately) have a great camera. Only our little point-and-shoot. We did try to edit some of the photos to see the animals better. Hopefully you’ll get the idea anyway!
So, here they are… in alphabetical order!
Baboons
Cheetah (Unfortunately, we did not see these in the wild…)
Chobe Chicken (Helmeted Guinea Fowl)
Elephant
Giraffe
Hippo
Honey Badger
Hyrax
Impala
Jackal
Kudu
Lion
Mongoose
Monkey
Oryx
Ostrich
Rhino
Sable
Springbok
Warthog
Wildebeest
Zebra
There were some other animals that we saw that we simply didn’t get a great picture of. These were the hyena, African buffalo, a roan antelope, and several other kinds of antelope. There were also a few notable things that we didn’t see that we really would have liked to… a leopard and an eland.
