Giraffe House

We visited the Giraffe House, just north of Stellenbosch. While there are certain disadvantages to being here in the winter, a distinct advantage is that there are no lines anywhere. We had the run of the place and saw all kinds of cool animals up close, including a Bat-Eared Fox, Vervent Monkeys, Impalas, Elands (the largest antelope), and more zebras.

Marin mastered three things today: 1. Tying his own shoes! 2. Doing the monkey bars without holding the same bar with both hands! 3. Feeding goats!

There was a reptile show with the smallest tortoise, a Baboon Spider (tarantula?), an American Corn Snake, and a Burmese Python. Love this guy.

Here's the giraffe after whom the Giraffe House is named.

And an ostrich that followed Ben around for awhile.

Meerkats!
