South Africa... wildlife and magic



This is just a list but one I've been meaning to put up for a year. We went to South Africa last year and over the course of 2 weeks here's a list of wildlife we saw (including flightless birds). What a truly extraordinary country... I can't imagine a better place for children to discover nature. Whether it's sitting 6 feet away from a lion or seeing whales in the ocean, there is magic every day and the miracle of this planet surrounds you every single moment. 


If you haven't been to South Africa yet, just go!
