Young at Heart – See Africa’s Offspring

3  comments

November 23, 2011

Animals always seem cuter as babies. Fully grown adult rhinos or lions, for example, just don’t evoke the same “Awwww” reaction in people as the smaller variety do. It’s more a respectful, “Fwoah – close the car window!”

Our expert safari consultant, Samantha Myburgh, has just returned from a trip to the Okavango Delta. Lucky gal! Look out for the full blog coming soon. She brought back these pictures of babies in the wild… Better than a “My boyfriend went to the Okavango Delta and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt” T-Shirt. We thought we’d share them with you, as well as photos taken by our other adventurous travel consultants and team members, particularly since it’s nearing impala birthing season, when the plains and pans of Africa will start sprouting shaky-legged little impala.

Read more about this season on Londolozi’s Blog and enjoy our own pics of the African Wilderness’ latest additions as they get used to the wild new world they find themselves in…

Be sure to head out on your own African safari to see these cute critters up close! Contact us to plan the best adventures possible!
