I’m ready for another trip to Africa. It’s hard to believe the trip was five years ago ready. At times, it seems like yesterday and at other times it seems like it was decades ago. Regardless, here are some photos from our safari.
Majestic Creature
MJ and I had a wonderful ten minutes watching this guy during a safari in Swaziland (now called Eswatini). He didn’t want to move from the road, so we just sat in the truck watching him do whatever he wanted.
Warthogs
Here is a photo of two cute Warthogs I captured during an animal safari in Kruger National Park (South Africa)…. That was a great trip.
Bull Elephant
Geez, I miss travel. Well, I miss everything that used to be normal. This Bull Elephant posed for us inside Kruger National Park (South Africa) during one of our safaris. He stood on the road looking at us, making noise, flapping his ears, and looking tough. I think this was in October of 2017….seems like two decades ago!!
Kruger Rhino
Short post tonight….. here is a photo I took in Kruger National Park (South Africa) of a Rhino who was literally crossing the road in front of our safari vehicle.

Baby Baboon
After the news about RBG, we’ll need all the happy thoughts we can get!!! To help you with that, I’m sharing this cute baby baboon photo which I took on our South Africa trip. A troop baboons (maybe 10 of them) wandered by our safari vehicle.

African Zebra
Here is a photo I took and haven’t shared yet from 2017. MJ and I traveled to South African with some amazing people. We traveled the country which included a number of safaris. We found this little guy on one of those game drives. Great memories!!

White Rhino
I keep searching for happy photos to post since there is so much darkness in our world right now. So tonight, I’m posting this photo from our 2017 trip to South Africa. We came upon this White Rhino during one of our safari rides. Wow, 2017 seems like 20 years ago right now…

Zebra
I need another trip to Africa. It won’t happen in 2020, so maybe……2021????? It’s hard to say at this point, but we had such an amazing trip to Africa last time. So, another is a “must do” for us at some point. Of course, I’ve also been saying we need to return to Iceland and that hasn’t happened yet either. To many great places, too little time and money…..
I captured this Zebra photo on one of the many game drives we completed in South Africa or it could have been a game drive in Swaziland. I can’t remember anymore. Side note, Swaziland changed their name to Eswatini in 2018 after we visited. Regardless, enjoy the zebra pic!!

African Bull
I honestly don’t remember if this is a male bull or a female African Elephant. I’m 90% sure this was a bull. Regardless, I took this photo during a safari with MJ in Kruger National Park South Africa.

The Herd
Looking through my feed, I noticed I haven’t posted any animal photos recently. That got me thinking about our trip to South Africa, which lead me to this photo. This was one of those magical moments that’s hard to explain. This herd of elephants came down over the hill to drink and play in this river. We sat there for a long time just watching the fun. Just….well magical.

Dumbo
I hope you’re having a great weekend. It’s been about six weeks since I posted a photo from South Africa. And we both know, I still have tons of photos from that trip. So, I’ll just drop one on you from time to time. Tonight’s photo is of a huge beautiful guy that entertained us for about 30 minutes.
