Our last morning game drive!!!

0 Comments

I don't know if I should be happy or sad by the fact that today was our last 5:30am wake up call for our safari... Ill sure enjoy my two extra hours of sleep every morning!

Today we started the drive by finding zebras... My favorite animal! They are so beautiful and love that every one has their unique stripe pattern... Just like our finger prints! I have always liked zebras because it embraces black and white and what I particularly liked about these African zebras is that they also have brown in them! I call them culturally diverse zebras: black, white, and even colored striped!!! Magnificent! If we could all be like zebras and embrace each others' colors, the world would be so much better!

We also found some rhinos...

And then... The leopard!!!!

This time he was eating the "flying" springbok!!!! It was amazing to see and hear it chewing on the bones! In a way it was repulsing to see this animal eating the poor springbok but that's what nature is all about! We were so close that we could clearly hear the leopard chewing on the bones and pulling the meat out of the springbok... We were all amazed with the sound!

One of the ladies on the tour said "so sad it is eating the springbok!" And Leslie said "that's us every night!" I guess the only difference is that humans don't have to hunt the animals themselves and eat it raw!

Seems like the springbok was tasty!

Some hippos on our way out of Timbavati!

And a beautiful grown male springbok

Sadly, our time in Simbavati had to end but it was an experience that we will all remember probably for the rest of our lives!

Now off to Kruger national park :-)
