An African Game Park

The pastor offered to take us to visit a game park and we were happy to accept. The animals were cooperative. This lone buc was the first to greet us. He stood proudly near the road and did not move as we came close. You can't see it from this picture but he has his back to a herd of wildebeests.









Not long after we saw that first buc we found some Zebras. They too proved to be brave and stood directly in the road, waiting for us to go away. We sat and watched them for a while and then we did as they demanded, we turned and went another way.
We found a small herd of giraffes and these two seemed to be quite curious about us. The huge bull giraffe towered over the trees. I can't see it in this picture but I saw him stick out a tongue that extended about a half meter (20 inches) out of his mouth.


This lizard was rather shy but I got a picture before he rushed off into the reeds. He was over 4 feet long (1 1/2 meters). I don't recall the name of the lizard but perhaps I will edit this post with the name later.
