So yesterday was a public Holiday in South Africa called Heritage Day. This meant that everyone was at home so we went to a game reserve called Lion and Rhino Park. At the lion and rhino park we saw a number of animals in their natural habitats including Zebras, Wildebeests, Springbucks and other antelope related animals. We also saw a number of rhinos including a few babies, which are extremely cute. We also had the opportunity to go and pet and play with 2 sets of baby lions and one grown Cheetah named Eddie. The first set of lions were quite small and I had no problem stroking them. We then saw Eddie who I was a little bit hesitant to touch but it was okay. We then saw an older set of lion cubs. I only gently touched one of these cubs as they were much more boisterous and scratching. We also watched a tiger show. Unfortunately when the trainer started the show the male Siberian tiger was in an aggressive mood and jumped on the trainer knocking him down. Luckily he was able to get up but he canceled the show and seemed very upset. He also must have been injured but there was no blood which I guess was good. All in all it was a great day. In the evening we made dinner and went out dancing which was also fun although today I am feeling about my dancing skills which are of course as most of you know, lacking.
Till next time, enjoy the pictures.
