On safari at Antโ€™s Hill in the Waterberg region of South Africa. What do they specialise in? You guessed it, horse safaris! ๐ŸŽ Do you prefer to drive / ride / walk / cycle on safari? #southafrica #safari #horses

This little one was just too cute! Really amazing to get so close to giraffes on horseback.๐Ÿฆ’Very fun, but a little tricky trying to do wildlife photography from the back of a horse. I ended up wandering into a few thorn bushes while I was trying to multi-task! #safari #giraffe

People often say a wildebeest looks like it has been put together from spare parts. The front of a cow or ox and the back of an antelope with the mane and tail or a horse. So, do you think this iconic species deserves to be in the โ€œugly fiveโ€?! #africa #safari #wildlife

Here is a female nyala. This is totally my favourite antelope (surely thatโ€™s a thing right?!) Not only are they beautiful to behold, you also find them roaming very near to lodges so you can get pretty close without disturbing them. I actually took this photo on foot. #safari

iSimangaliso Wetlands are most famous for their abundant hippo population.๐Ÿฆ› Exploring by boat, there are hippos around every corner! Located in Kwa-Zulu Natal, iSimangaliso means โ€œmiracleโ€ in Zulu. Itโ€™s no surprise it is a World Heritage Site. #meetsouthafrica #safari #hippo

South Africa is a great place to go on your own self drive safari. It can be cost effective, flexible and most of all fun driving around spotting animals yourself. ๐Ÿ‘ #meetsouthafrica #safari #africa #southafrica #africanwildlife Find out more here... acaciadiaries.com/2019/02/18/howโ€ฆ

We only went and saw an aardwolf this weekend!! Even better we managed to get a shot of it!! This was ridiculously exciting as they are very rare, usually nocturnal & difficult to spot. #safari #africanwildlife #aardwolf Mziki Safari Lodge

A majestic kudu bull at Welgevonden Game Reserve. When kudu bulls run they lay their horns flat against their backs to avoid snagging them on branches. #animalfacts #africanwildlife #kudu #southafrica #safari #welgevondengamereserve
