A day for pencils, forms, snacks, chargers, books, forgotten papers, and the nightly search before morning.
A day for checking the remote, the toy, the flashlight, the clock, and the one drawer everyone opens first.
You encounter the iconic African lions, African elephants, and Cape buffalo across South Africa's national parks and reserves. You commonly see pet dogs, cats, and parrots kept as household companions throughout South African homes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
