Before going on safari, I imagined we’d spend the whole trip focused on lions, elephants, rhinos and all the iconic wildlife.
What I didn’t expect was for our entire group to become emotionally invested in finding the perfect warthog photo.
For almost the entire holiday, every time we spotted a warthog and tried to stop for pictures, it would instantly run away.
And honestly? They move FAST.
Our guide Noko found this absolutely hilarious and slowly became just as invested in the mission as we were.
By the final day, every sighting became: “There’s one!” Everyone grabbing cameras. Vehicle stopping. Warthog disappearing into the bushes.
Then finally, on our last proper safari drive, we got lucky.
A warthog stood still long enough for us to properly admire it, photograph it and celebrate like we’d achieved something monumental 😂
Safari has such a lovely way of reminding you that the little moments often become the most memorable.
Yes, seeing lions and elephants was incredible. But so was laughing uncontrollably over a stubborn warthog in the middle of South Africa.
And honestly, I think those are the moments that stay with you forever.
