Morning game drive, crisp winter air, can you spot the croc on the bank?
If you have stayed with us, you will be able to tell whats going on in this picture....
An authentic African safari is what Notten's is all about!
One interesting fact about zebras is that their stripes are unique to each individual, just like human fingerprints. 🤔 Scientists are still trying to figure out why zebras have stripes, but some theories suggest that they help to confuse predators or regulate body temperature.
Next time you see a zebra, remember all these interesting facts and appreciate these beautiful creatures in the wild. 🌿

Great footage of a lilac breasted roller preparing its meal.
