Pilanesberg National Park (act III)

Giraffe
I really like Giraffes, they look so quiet and peaceful, eating tree leaves and branches or playing with each-other. It was very enjoyable to take pictures of them.


Can you see the head of the small one ?


There should be 4 or 5 giraffes in this picture





Hippopotamus
Also one of my favorites, quietly leaning near a water spot. Of course, unlike Giraffes, the Hippos can be quite dangerous. We saw one group (including a small one) near a dam, and also one alone in a river, by night, with just the ears, eyes and nostrils above the surface !

A family (including a small one, can you see it ?) of Hippos, taking the sun after their morning bath





Ostrich
We saw Ostriches in several places, but that one came very close as it crossed the road just in front of us !


I like this one.

To be continued ...

  1. J'aime bien la photo où on doit trouver les girafes, ca fait penser à un "où est Charlie" ou à certaines photos trompe l'oeil.. sur le coup tu vois rien et après tu réalises plein de détails.
    Et aussi, l'autruche, elle a une bonne tête!

  2. Oui, et quand t'es la bas en vrai, c'est exactement ca. Au debut tu vois rien, puis tu vois un truc, et en fait y'en a plein ! Et quand ca te fait ca avec un rhinoceros (qui est quand meme pas une petite bestiole !), que d'un coup t'en vois trois, c'est impressionnant. Le plus difficile a voir, ca reste quand meme le leopard.
    Et j'aime bien l'autruche aussi, elle est marrante.
