Safari- Last Day








Our Safari was over - dad took over 3000 pictures, and I've shared a few of our memories. We were lucky enough to see the rare pangolin (like an anteater) which all the guides hadn't seen in years. We had great food and company, and learned about the animals in the wild. We were the ones caged in this week, for our protection. Our watering hole had hippo and buffalo laying around during the day, and we made new friends. It was sad to say goodbye. But this is the real Africa, and my mom and dad plan a return visit in the future. Hope I can go.
Safari -Thursday
Safari- Wednesday




Golden Orb Spider = we must have met millions of these guys, as we drove through their webs while off roading after the animals. Whe used "Alfies bush" (Alfie was our tracker) a branch with leafs we held above our heads to catch any webs he missed
That would have been alot.



Lions- we saw them every day; 2 days with a kill, eating.



Our first day, John shook me awake at 5am. He had tea ready for us, and we went out at 5:30. For the next 3 hours we followed animals. The lions were eating a zebra they caught the night before, and the vultures started coming to the trees to wait. It was really exciting. I was scared alittle being so close to the lions. We came back to breakfast, then homework, lunch, pool, and then night drive. Dinner was always ready when we got back. Kinsani our chef made us great food the whole week. Then to bed.
