Zach had the opportunity to participate in the National Arts Festival in South Africa this summer and since my goal was to travel to Africa by the time I was 30, I had to go along. Here is a random spattering of photos in random order from our trip. We were lucky enough to go on two safaris and spend a beautiful day in Cape Town.
License plate of our safari vehicle.
White lion and cub.
Our safari.
At the lodge.
Zach, Reggie and Erik at the lodge for lunch.
The only primate we saw (besides each other).
Another giraffe.
Can't remember what this is.
When I was a young warthog...
HUGE hippos. Don't mess with these guys.
White lion watching over his pride lands.
Mama white lion with her new cubs.
Zebra. Some had scratch marks on their rears from close calls with the lions.
Getting ready to safari.
Our companion vehicle.
Leopard.
Downtown Grahamstown.
Andy and Zach in the Hamlet adaptation 'Revenge of a King.'
More Grahamstown.
A jackal (I think) getting scraps from a kudu. Circle of life...
Elephant. We didn't see any one our first safari despite how hard our guide tried, so I screamed with excitement when we finally saw this one so close up!
Ostrich.
Library for the Blind. They had huge braille dots on the outside of the building.
Table Mountain, Cape Town.
Cape Town Marketplace.
Zach having his first oyster. He liked it.
Finally real food! Pizza in Cape Town.
Kudu. The guys ate kudu burgers and loved them. Ew.
Our last day we went to the beach. It was beautiful!
Zach conquering the rocks.
Gondola to top of Table Mountain.
Last lunch in Africa.
Reggie and Zach congratulating each other for taking the plunge.
Brrr.....
This feels like a movie moment.
Favorite beach activity.
