A Pride Of Lions

Whilst on a recent Safari in Tanzania my guide took great delight in teaching us the collective nouns for the animals. Something great to learn before you go, and some are much more interesting than you imagine!

I am sure you know the obvious ones….

A Pride of Lion

A Herd of Elephants

But what about the more unusual ones….

Sounder Of Warthog

A Sounder of Warthog

A Dazzle Of Zebra

A Dazzle of Zebra

A Journey Of Giraffe

A Journey of Giraffe

A Congress Of Baboon

A Congress of Baboon

And of course, you have others such as:

A crash of Rhino

A Float of Crocodiles

Great to remember for safari and the next pub quiz!!

Happy travels everyone

Africa Specialist

The iconic cultures, landscapes and of course wildlife found in Africa has been my biggest passion since I was three-years-old when I had my first ever close encounter with a herd of elephants at a watering hole in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. It was therefore no surprise to anyone who knows me that I have ended up in a career that not only allows the growth of my own personal knowledge of all things Africa, but also enable others to visit and experience the magic there for themselves.
