A Chronicle of Amy and Sean's World Travels

Cape Point: the Animal Edition

Cape Point was our first experience with South African animals. We saw animals we had never seen in the wild before.  We saw penguins waddling around in Simon’s Town, who, by the way, are the most super cutest things ever.


We pulled over to photograph wild baboons on the side of the road playing under a sign warning us of their danger. We later learned that baboons are the nemesis of South Africans – they often break into people’s houses, eat their food, and wreck their house – but the baby baboons looked so playful and harmless.

On our way out of the Cape of Good Hope National Park, we saw an ostrich family walking along the road, doing what ostriches do: sticking their heads in the ground.

    Omg, too cute!!! I love the baby penguins and baboons! You’re so lucky! I always wanted to go to South Africa, too. Glad you enjoyed it. Besides “too many mrow”, this is my favorite post. Love the animals. One super cute furry black mrowse says hello…he’s currently burrowing under the blanket…it’s chilly here today. Wonder what the gray mrowser is doing right now…I’m going to google mrowser when I’m done reading your posts to see if this comes up. 🙂
