Saturday Adventures in Peitermaritzburg


We went to the Birds of Prey Sanctuary. They had a lot of birds....um yea..not sure what else to say.

This one had a cool helmet on. It was actually to prevent it from freaking out or something like that.

We were going to drive through this Lion reserve park. However, last week they attacked and climbed all over a bus :/ There are about 20 lions who are either retired circus lions or offspring. There are also white lions, I didn't even know they exist.
Lions are amazing, terrifying, and beautiful creations.

There was nothing but this thin wire fence held up by wooden posts in the ground between me and these lions. Eek!!! Given the chance they would have eaten us in a second. I fully realized what they mean by 'wild' animals. The look in their eyes is not something to be trifled with.



Yikes, they were close :/ It looks like they want to make me there next meal.
Here are the honorary males on are team. There are 29 students, 26 of which are girls :)

Simba??

Beautiful, awe inspiring creatures.

Here is the view of peitermaritzburg.
We are standing near the original road which the trekboers (pioneers of SA) used to travel into the Kwazulu-natal province.

Here is a drive by shooting of a statue of Gandhi. On the night of 7 June 1893, Gandhi was evicted from the first class compartment on a train in Peitermaritzburg. From that point on he took up the fight against oppression through active non-violence.
