The sun was shining as we headed to Lory Park Zoo in Midrand, a quick 30 minute drive from home. With our remaining time in South Africa now measuring in weeks, we are trying to make the most of it by seeing as many nearby attractions as possible.

This animal park ended up being very well maintained and it was the weekend hot spot for birthday gatherings. There must have been 4 parties going-on at picnic tables etc. I thought Claire & Rhys could be burnt out on animal observation but they were so excited to see them all…. We saw lots of birds, cats, and reptiles. We had lunch, played at a little playground, walked around, fed the bunnies then made our way back home for nap-time.
