The male ostrich at Airport Game Lodge, Johannesburg, South Africa greets me on my first night back there after a long flight from New Zealand. A very convenient, reasonably priced, clean and very quiet motel type lodge 10 minutes complimentary shuttle drive from Oliver Tambo Airport. Great accommodation for your first introduction to South Africa as there is a herd of springbok, a pair of ostriches, and other small game quietly grazing the large grounds.
The other guys posting for Travel Photo Thursday have great pics up. Check them all out from here at Nancie's Budget Travellers Sandbox.

So cute, I love ostrich :)
So that's where you've been. Hadn't heard from you in so long, I thought you fell off the face of the earth!
Sounds like a fantastic trip, chock full of wildlife. Wish I'd have been there. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome back Jim. Great Shots!
Thanks for posting to Travel Photo Thursday.
Cool one of the ostrich!
I really like that first shot. However, I have an unhealthy fear of ostriches...something about a bird that size just scares me.
Thats nice. Straight from airport to game watching :)
I really like pictures of African animals! They always amaze me. Thanks for sharing yours :)
Wow, I can't even imagine seeing anything like this in person. What great trip!
What fun photos and commentary! Great close-up of Ozzy.
