The Circle of Life.

After two weeks of Swakopmund and surrounds sight-seeing (otherwise known as shopping!) we set off for the wilds of Africa experience.  We drifted into Erindi just in time for lunch which kicked off 3 days of epic eating... a battle that was easily won by Dad.  It was gloriously hot and much swimming was done.  Mum and Dad went on several Game Drives with their trusty guide Alphonzo and got up close and personal with lions, cheetahs, elephants and more.

Meanwhile Ace and Sonny tore up the joint on their scooter and motorbike.  The waterhole beside the restaurant was dry but there was still so much to see and this time round lots of babies!  Zebra foals, hippo calfs, pregnant giraffes and the holy grail, lion cubs feasting on a warthog which we were lucky to see on the Kiddies Game Drive!!

On this trip to Erindi, I was able to go on my first non Kiddies Game Drive and was lucky enough to see 2 male cheetahs, a female cheetah, 3 female lions and the king of the jungle a male Lion.   However this time round I really loved all the less celebrated animals, like the ugly warthog, the incredible looking zebra and the fastest animal on two legs.. the ostrich! 

Please bear with the photography, we left Steve, the family wildlife photographer behind at work.
