South African wedding days 3 and 4: Heia
By nealejames | April 2, 2007
We had a couple of rest days before our trek across SA into the Free State, the next part of this adventure. There’s a part of Heia that is safe enough to walk around, save the scorpions and Puff Adders! Springboks, Impala, Zebra, Vervet monkeys, and Giraffes frequent this fenced segment of the ranch that residents can explore. This isn’t the finest example of animal photography and my photographic buddy Paul Walker who specialises in pictures of hair covered beasts would probably wince, but only ten feet or so from ‘Freckles’ the Giraffe, (yes they really are all named - a nightmare when it comes to the Impala infestation) there was an opportunity for this cheeky snapshot. They are beautiful creatures, but not very attractive when eating.
