AKL Pictures?????

Great action shot! So is that a galloping gnu?

That was one crazy Wildebeest, he ran around like a maniac it was quite entertaining.

I know they are not the most attractive animal but I found it odd being a herd species he was alone, I even asked why he was while attending the Africa Trek Safari and the lady seemed clueless as to why there was only one.

I suppose you're right, but I think they have a lot of personality. But I don't get the guys who whine about getting okapis instead of zebra or giraffe, so what do I know?

but I found it odd being a herd species he was alone,

Poor guy. Maybe he was galloping around looking for another wildebeast. Although actually I've seen pictures of a single gnu in a herd of Ankole Cattle in other safari parks, so it could be that usually works out pretty well. I like to hope so, anyhow. Grazing herd animals of different species will often hang out together in the wild, so why not?

I wouldn't complain about any animal view there, although I think it would be incredible if they had a predator view. It would be amazing to see a pride of lions just laying around!

Kathy,
Your pic's are amazing. I'm curious what kind of camera you used.

Every time I look at the pic's I see something different, such as noticing this evening the leaping Gazelles (I think they are Gazelles) within the inside balcony / walkway railing! What detail; so Disney!

As for what I think is the gift shop, how does one protect the Giraffe figurines when traveling home? Do they come with a cylindrical shipping / travel case of some sort?

Thank you! I just used a p&s Canon powershot A495 I really liked it for day light pictures but I had a lot of trouble getting the indoor/night pictures

I don't know how they wrap the giraffe figurines. I know when I've bought coffee cups before they really wrapped them good with a lot of paper and tape.

I think this might be my last AKL pic I'll keep looking to see if I have more

Olympia, you are going to be thrilled with AKL! There is only one pool, but it is huge, with a zero entry side and a slide. Also a kiddie pool, and two very nicely secluded hot tubs. The pool view views also make you close to the lobby area. Be sure to have a Zebra Dome - best dessert at WDW. You can get them at Boma (buffet restaurant) or even in the cases at Mara (food court). Have a great trip! jane
