Our second trip on the safari ride felt different, just like everyone says. For one thing, in honor of our anniversary, we were given the back seat all to ourselves – and the view is great! You can see the whole savannah, with no obstructions.
It’s kinda blurry, but I love this one.... you’d almost think the bird was posed there!
Slightly less frisky Ankole Cattle
This guy’s hoping we don’t recognize him from last time...
Baby elephant!
If you look reeeeeeally closely.... you prolly still won’t see the sleeping lion...
Here either!
The coolest part of this trip on the safari was being chased by a white rhino! Since DH and I were in the back, I think we’re the only ones who noticed him sneak (if something as large as a rhino can sneak) out of the bushes and come trotting after the ride vehicle! As in any photo, he looked closer in person than he does in this picture!
Another shower from the geyser
After routing another band of evil poachers (really, I think the nature preserve needs to get stronger gates or something), we set off on the African animal trail.
Not an anteater
Whoops! Caught live-blogging!
In the, uh, Small Critter House, we discovered a litter of naked mole rats that had been born that day! The CM standing between the railing and the mole rat nursery offered to take a picture for us when she saw DH struggling to zoom in.
This might be my favorite place on the Africa trail
So when we got to the area where the meerkats hang out, we saw the goofiest looking thing....
“OK, I think no one’s looking...”
“Alley-oop!!!”
“Maybe if I hide behind these leaves no one will see me...”
