Foto Phaves: Penguin Colony at Boulders Beach

Here is an audio of the jackass penguins. I’d been told they were called this because of the noise they make. If you’ve ever heard the bray of a donkey, you’ll understand why. Have a listen! The Song of the Jackass Penguins

Penguins arriving back from the sea at Boulders Beach, Simon's Town, South Africa. This place was the top choice for our younger daughter during our family trip around the world.

Our trip to South Africa is a pilgrimage of sorts, on behalf of our younger daughter who dreams of becoming a marine biologist. We had a vague idea of visiting Africa, and Marlie chose this as her anywhere in the world place. The Penguin Colony at Boulders Beach.


They've built wooden walkways like this one at Boulders Beach, so the human visitors can watch the penguins without disturbing their lives or homes.
