Wildlife along the road

On Thursday we took our vehicle to Welkom for its first service. Rina stayed on with her daughter; Grant and I came home, It's a long weekend, Sunday being National Women's Day in South Africa. Therefore Monday is a public holiday. 

 On the way home, Grant stopped at a small wildlife park so that I could take photos. 
A giraffe standing near the fence along the main road on which we traveled

Another standing further back

The high roofed stable which accommodates the giraffe during cold spells
I only saw one zebra


And back home, an update on our cute pup, Skabenga. (playing with Great-aunt Eddie) 

I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here


Happy weekend to you all!

    How nice there's a shelter for the giraffe when the weather is cool.

    I love your brick court yard... and Aunt Eddie looks like Baby, she doesn't want to play. Jake does what skabinga is doing, trying to stir them up....i would love to drive down the road and see a giraffe and a zerbra
