More Animals in Swahili!

Last week we introduced "The Big Five", the most sought-after animals on an African wildlife safari. This week we will learn the names of some of the other animals you would see on safari.

Zebra = Ganj'a

Warthog = Ngiri

Giraffe* = Twiga

Hippopotamus = Kiboko

Ostrich = Mbuni

Stay tuned to see what next week will bring :)
