Day 7, Part 4 In Which The Lion Isn't Sleeping Tonight
Next, it was over to Harambe for some deliciousness and our second safari
of the trip.
I got another Safari Cupcake...which was originally called the Zebra Cupcake... then the Safari Cupcake... and is now again called the Zebra Cupcake. Whatever, Disney.
My point is: I ate part of the cupcake they sell outside the safari with the zebra stripes on it, and saved the rest for later.
Then, we were ready for another safari! Being animal/Animal Kingdom lovers, it is necessary for us to
Live It Up by going on multiple safaris.
OK so the first notable thing was that we actually saw a hippo get out of the water! I've never seen that before, have you? The driver got all excited about it, so I assume it doesn't happen that often!
KJDHFLKJHDLKJ A BABY GIRAFFE. You don't even know, guys. I live for baby animals, but there are something about baby giraffes that I just can't even deal with how cute they are. Cause they're not perfectly cute like a lion cub or something. They're weird looking. But still unbelievably adorable. And I like that.
The giraffes seemed to get the same memo that the tigers did about coming right up to people, cause they were all up in our George Foreman! I loved it!
Momma and baby
It's always hard to see the cheetahs, but we had a pretty good view of them this time. AWESOME.
So we get to our favorite part. MY BELOVED LIONS.
I was really banking on them being up and about because we didn't see them earlier in the trip and I NEED to see them every single trip.
Fingers crossed.
The beautiful lioness was atop her hill..,
Based on the title of this chapter, you can probably guess who we saw next.
OH, LOOK! WHO IS THAT???????
OH NO ONE, JUST THE KING OF THE MOTHEREFFING JUNGLE IS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWW YEAH.
The lions never fail me! I LOVE YOU, LIONS!
Extreme close-up... Try and find something more beautiful in the world, I dare you. OK, maybe cheddar cheese soup is more beautiful. But besides that, good luck.
Pumbaa was up and out as well! I usually don't see the warthogs outside of their little cave thing.
Yeah, yet again, we had a great safari. I don't know what it is, but we always have the best luck at Animal Kingdom. I'm so grateful to Disney for making all these animals accessible to us like this. Every time I go I just can't believe what I'm experiencing!
I definitely suggest going on the safari more than once per trip. We never see everything just one time. It's really worth it to go back... even if you do it once in the morning and once on the afternoon on the same day. Trust me!
