Safari

So we went to some places with big animals. There was a sign as we drove into Addo Elephant park saying that dung beetles have the right of way (they're endangered). We drove around the parks in Land Rovers. The second place we went was called Schotia - they have more kinds of animals because they are a private park (or "farm" as our guide Niekie called it) and so they can have non-indigenous animals. Of course, I was given all the good pictures by Sonja.

To clarify: these places aren't zoos. They are big open places with fences around such-and-such number of acres, so that the animals have tons of space to roam and eat and everything, and we drove out in the LRs (with the guides)to find them. The first picture is from inside the Rover - there were worn driving paths, but the guides weren't shy about off-roading. On the sides there are big, open windows that we looked/took pictures out of.
