One thing we weren’t really expecting to see in Africa was penguins. But I guess if there can be penguins from Madagascar, why not South Africa? These guys were on a beach at Simon’s Town and the reason most of them have their eyes closed is because the wind was blowing sand everywhere.

This will be the final post in my South African wildlife series. Penguins. A lot of people are surprised to hear that there are penguins in Africa, but it’s true. We visited Boulder’s Beach in Simon’s Town on the southern cape which is home to a large penguin colony. It was really windy when we were there and I was afraid of getting sand in my lens, but I did manage to take a few shots of some penguins.
