Safari

What a great adventure the Safari was!!  We saw so many animals in their natural habitat. We saw zebras, giraffes, hogwarts, toppy, reebock, aligators, water buck, hippos, babboons, and others animals I can't remember.  It was a pretty rough ride but well worth it.  We traveled two and a half hours away to Akegera National Park for our adventure. The scenery along the way was very interesting. We traveled by large vans and had to pack our own lunch--no Mickey Dee's along the way.  We had lunch by the hippos.  By that time it had been two hours since a restroom break, and one girl asked the park ranger when we would have then next chance to use the restroom, he didn't bat an eye and said we go behind the bush!

My favorite animal to see was the giraffe. I have always liked them in the zoos, but to see them in nature was amazing. We see 10-12 in a group.  They are huge.  Each one has a unqiue pattern.  Their were adults and babies walking around together and the babies would run and play. I enjoyed the trip so much.

Our trip was not without its events!! One of the girls got car sick and had to throw up a few time. Then our car broke down at the park. So all 12 of us wanting to go home together piled into a car meant for 9.  Some were sitting on the floor and 4 squeezed into a bench for 3.  But we did make it back. This will probably be one of my greatest memories.

I actually was right there and took this picture!

I tried for more pictures but this was the only one I could load.
