Zazu makes a friend in the Kruger

Tourvest Destination Management recently posted a photo to its Instagram account showcasing a bird – who may look familiar to those who have seen the The Lion King – alongside his avian companion.

The bird, called Zazu, is a royal adviser in the Pride Lands of the 1994 Disney animated film.

“This is one of our favourite snaps from a guest on a recent Kruger tour: a stunning shot of a Yellow-Billed Hornbill and a Lilac-Breasted Roller,” the caption of the image explains.

Ilandi Langlands, a Showroom Sales Consultant, snapped the photograph during a tour of the Kruger National Park.
