Today marks the 18th day I have been in South Africa. It also marks almost a week since my last blog update. Whoops! Tonight I want to share some photos I took on Monday at the game reserve in Pilansberg. It was our first day off since I arrived, and we spent about 13 hours there. Pilansberg is about a two-hour drive away, so we left the house at 6am. The first animal we saw was a rhino, which was followed by zebras, a jackal, baby rhino, blue wildebeest, giraffe, hippos, wild hogs, kudu, klipspringers, and many other animals! We also worked our way up to the top of a mountain to look out over the whole game reserve. The view was breath taking!

The hippos were hard to find. These were the only ones we could get photos of.
I found these red bugs when we stopped to picnic. I have never seen something so red! God is such an amazing designer!

The giraffe version of the “duck face”.

The landscape was so breathtaking! Unfortunately a camera cannot capture the actual beauty.
