Blog 8-4-2010 Wednesday
We were up, and had breakfast and were ready for our safari! We climbed into 3 vehicles with a raise-able tops so we could easily see out and take pictures. We saw a myriad of an animals and 3 of the Aftrican Big 5! To get a good description, talk to us and ask to see our pictures. We enjoyed a “take away” lunch mid-day.

It was dusty and hot but worth every single minute!
Real life giraffes are great!
Seeing the lions up close including a male with a mane, licking his chops and roaring was incredible!
It was enlightening to see everyone’s reactions!
The drivers were amazing as they took us over, around, through, stumps, rocks, boulders, and sand!
Seeing a bull elephant stand guard as the others drank and later another bull elephant trumpeting!
Seeing a two-day old giraffe kill identifiable by leg hair and skeletal structure!
Vultures circling and cleaning up an impala!
Hippos and crocs in the Ruaha River!
Walking over and back on a swinging rope bridge and having our spirited door keeper Josh break into song “Soon and very soon we are going to see the King”!
It was remarkable how close we were to the animals!
And yes I overused exclamation points but today was one huge !
Back at “home” and showers felt good.
