Ostrich

After the spectacular ride on Chapman’s Drive, The Wandelgek drove to the Cape of Good Hope National Park, where he first visited an ostrich farm. The nice thing about such a farm is that it allows you to almost stand on top of the ostriches and this results in some great ostrich portraits …

The ostrich or common ostrich (Struthio camelus) is either one or two species of large flightless birds native to Africa, the only living member(s) of the genus Struthio, which is in the ratite family. Starting in 2014, the Somali ostrich is now considered a full species separate from the common ostrich.
