We managed to view two of the Big 5 and even managed see something that certain photographers wait a lifetime to capture on film. This is only the second time I have ever seen it and the last time was in Uganda!
So here are a few animal photos to get you into the African mood while we wait for our Cape Adventure to begin.

Lioness
Gemsbok
Mongoose
Can you see it?
What amazing horns.
Tsetsebe - the fastest buck in Africa
and finally, the shot of a lifetime! It is not often that you will see a hippo yawn like this. There are stories of foreign camera crews waiting days and eventually going home with out getting this shot. WOW, no wonder they are the biggest killer in Africa after man.
Especially when a few moments before all you could see of him was this..
If you are South African and of a certain age only one phrase come to mind.. Oh Big Mouth!
Thank you for the fantastic photos. It is amazing to see that and then see the slums. The animals shots are just magnificent. Thanks Bel, from all of us.. Tonyx
