Safari Day

Orange for the color of our favorite animals....the giraffes!  They were adorable.  And we got photos of them with their necks crossed like you see in all the pictures.  The elephants charged us....can you believe it??!!  We had to back up and go the other direction!  Also, the rhinos weren't too thrilled to see us.  It is amazing to see them 'up close and personal.'  We also saw baby lions, Brent actually touched one!  They throw dead chickens (eew) to the adult lions and they come near to eat.  Fantastic photo op!!  The waterbuffalo also charged....and once again, we were victorious in escape.  The baby ostrich were adorable..and the adults strutted their stuff.  There were springboks, and other boks that I can't remember the names of.  Many zebras.
Our jeep driver was fantastic!  It was quite chilly, and he actually stopped at his house and brought out jackets for the girls.  That kind of service is pretty spectacular!  We will have stories for quite a time to come.  My camera battery was dead right at the end, so that was good.  We're going to get another, so we don't have to think about it.
South African food buffet with the hotel manager for dinner tonight. Looking forward to it.
