New Bethesda – The Owl Town At The End Of The World

Watch Your Back For Lions
Our visit in Mountain Zebra National Park started with a puncture and the feel of wild animals watching us as we tried to get going again.
But where were the endangered Cape Mountain Zebras? And the black rhino, buffalo, cheetah, brown hyena and lions?
