By far one of our favourite pages on the Facebook is Africa, this is why I live here. If you haven’t checked it out, do yourself the favour. The page features images submitted by users, mostly from South Africa, but also from further afield. The page supports rhino conservation initiatives as the owners run a small game park in the Eastern Cape.
The Facebook page, naturally features a number of posts dedicated to saving our rhinos. It also has a number of albums which feature downright hysterical photos, like one called “Toilet Humour” featuring interesting toilet situations across the dark continent and another called “Drive by Shooting” which features bizarre pics taken while on the road. An almost definite favourite though is one called “Lost in Translation“, a catalogue of hilarious signs and notices snapped all over Africa. Here are some of our favourites:
