We were blessed Saturday to take a p-day and go on our first safari! We and the Thompsons left early and drove over to Pilanesberg Game Reserve. It took us a little over 2 hours to arrive.
We couldn't have asked for a better day, weather and animal sighting was perfect.
 |
| The first animal we sighted was a rhino!!! It's very rare to see one of those! You don't see it in this photo as it was running very fast and I missed the shot :( But it's there, I promise) |
 |
| The zebras were plentiful. You pronounce that Zeb-rah. It just sounds right to say that in South Africa. |
 |
| Morning and night these water holes would be filled with animals |
 |
| And my day was complete when I saw my first giraffe in the wild!! That made me so happy. They were majestic and beautiful!! |

| This giraffe was posing for us |

| Mr Elephant eating a tree on the side of the road. All through the park broken trees were a witness that an elephant had passed by that way. |
 |
| Funny little warthogs were everywhere |
 |
| We came upon a herd of elephant, around 24 |
