Isaac LOVED the penguin colonies living on the beaches down there - he started to think it's normal that we see exotic animals every five minutes

The elephants playing....
Hard to see, but we came across the three adolescent elephants rolling around in the dirt playing together. It was so cute. They were sticking their trunks in this hole in the ground and just generally causing trouble

You can see the gazelle's head hanging down off the limb to the right
The most amazing thing we saw on the safari - the leopard has pulled his kill (a gazelle) into a tree and is munching on it in front of us. You could hear him grinding the bones.....
