SAFARI!

We both think it would be a tragedy to come to work in Africa amongst the dirt and grot, and never actually see the beauty of the animals.

Like Australia, where Kangaroo's don't go jumping down roads, Africa doesn't have giraffe's and lions wondering down the streets.  If we were a little more rural, you do see alot more.  We were only 45 minutes out of town and elephants were crossing the road!

So, it is always a privilege and delight to go on Safari to get up close with the animals.  Lions, giraffes, zebra, wildebeast, elephants, antlope (Impala, thompsons, waterbuck, Dik Dik plus various other varieties of these but can't remember the names), cheetah(very rare but we did see it), extravagant birds, monkeys, massive boabs (here prounced baobab here), hippos, rhinos (though very far off so we didn't really see them close), buffalo plus heaps more I've probably forgotten.

We were stoked to go with Mum and Dad Plumb on safari to 'Ngorongoro Crater' and get so close to the lions we had to tell the kids DON"T TOUCH!!  They easily could have reached out and stroked them.  The lions like to come up to the cars in the heat of the day and rest underneath.  All well and good until you find you cannot continue your safari!!!

 

I hope you enjoy these piccies!!  And yes - we took them all!!!
