ADDO and Schotia pictures

We used this type of vehicle to watch the wildlife in Schotia, which is typical of game drives all over South Africa. The students loved the drivers and seeing all of the wildlife. It was in this area that we saw the white rhino.

Mother elephant was considering if she wanted to cross the road in front of us. She was a little concerned thus ears flapping. Trust me they did flap.

Can you find the Kudu. They are very attractive antelope.

This was a group of blue Wildebeest with young.

This was a young male lion, who was paying very close attention to a female just out of the picture.

Two of these came out of the brush and went around the waterhole and than wandered off between the vehicles. They were not concerned about our presence.

A warthog ... an animal of such beauty that only its mother could love it.

Goony cattle have some very interesting patterns on their hides. The advantage of these beast is that they are resistant to most of the diseases in the region because they were the herds that the natives had at the very beginning.

I think it is safe to stick my neck out and say this is giraffe!! There were a couple in the area.

This is a zebra of course but it is specifically a Burchell's zebra because of the shadow strip just on the white strips. It is not very clear in this pictures but can see it on the hip region. There are two other species in South Africa.

Baby lions are like babies all over. It is time to play and what to they play? Stalking and pouncing on their sibling. Practice starts early.

This is a taste of the pictures I took. It was a great trip. Everyone enjoyed it.
