It's a wild wild life

As mentioned in the previous post, I went on a half day trip to Daan Viljoen Nature Reserve. The nature reserve was just 20km (12 miles for you Americans) outside of Windhoek. Basically we just drove around the reserve hoping to spot some wildlife. We saw plenty of wildebeest throughout the drive:

There were zebras on the hill:

We got out to walk to a pond and saw a warthog in the distance:

During the walk we also noticed this guy (a Kudu) checking us out:

The highlight was definitely seeing the giraffes...There were 9 total, including 3 babies:

They were right next to the road (dirt path) and weren't afraid of us, so we slowly got out and were able to take some pictures, pretty wild:

On the way back the guide pointed out this bird...don't remember what it was called, but it looked pretty cool:

Not quite a safari, but I'm glad I was able to get out and see some wildlife.
