Do you ever see wild animals?

Yes. I see wild animals regularly. In South Africa there are many opportunities to see the glorious wild life we have here. Anything from warthog to cheetah to giraffe to eland to lion and leopard.

There are many lodges here that offer what we call game drives. These are outings into the game reserves in an open vehicle. The vehicles are driven by brilliant rangers who are expert in their field and in the area. They also have a riffle in case of the unexpected. And this is the bush so anything can happen.

The nature to be experienced is awe inspiring. Birds and mammals and reptiles are in abundance.

Having seen the majestic elephant herds you will be changed forever.

A moment with her not so  little one. The horns are very popular in Asia and this has caused much poaching of the Rhino, and endangering the species. In South Africa, rhino preservation projects are run, by which the horns are removed from the animals to ensure their safety.

You get to see and be close to wild animals in their natural habitat and it is a great privilege. And one that I am deeply grateful for.
