It worked out for me to go on a Safari today! Pretty awesome! Miles and miles of savanna in a national park in Kenya. I was really anticipating seeing hippos in the wild, but they had moved down river. Hippos have been my favorite animal since 1st Grade, so I was a little disappointed.
However, it was amazing to see other animals in their natural habitat. Giraffes were my favorite! I also spotted zebra, impalas, antelope, ostriches, a small cheetah-looking cat, warthogs, crocodile, tortoises, baboons, monkeys, and a 3-foot lizard. A park ranger with a rifle took us on a walk down a trail to a river where the hippos sometimes are, but they had moved. Lions, leopards, and snakes were around, which made me a little nervous on our walk, but didn't see any. A huge baboon jumped into the sunroof of a van next to us...all the way in! No one was hurt, but he stole a girl's lunch.
Now I feel like I have truly seen Africa. In America, you always think of Africa in the way that I just saw it! Extremely satisfying.
