On our way home from Botswana we had a chance to stop into a game reserve just outside Mafikeng and spent 3 hours looking for some animals. I think we were the only car in the reserve during that time other than the game wardens. We did manage to see a couple of rhinos and got up close and personal with three giraffes but mainly the animals were quick to bolt when the car came near. So most of my pictures were taken with a lot of magnification. What we were surprised not to see was a single zebra. I am sure this is the only time we have been to a reserve that had zebras and did not see one – the park rangers and the Taylors said there are large herds but they must have all decided to gather outside our view. Â However it was fun to drive and look for animals, have a quick snack at a picnic area and then come home after a nice break.
