Safari

Our last day on vacation we spent the day at Animal Kingdom. We wanted to ride the Safari ride early in the day and since the parked open early we headed straight to the safari. We all loved it the last time we were on vacation because there are so many animals and you really feel like you are in the middle of Africa when you are out in the jeep. These are real animals. Totally unpredictable. The perfect example of this the fact we were sitting in our jeep for ten minutes waiting for a giraffe to move off the road so the jeep ahead of us could go allowing everyone else to move on. Eventually they had to get someone from animal programs to come out and coax it with some sort of leafy tree branch to get him to move along. No one minded sitting there watching it all take place. It really reminds you how beautiful the world is. One of the most amazing things we saw the entire week was the white rhino. This is a picture of the newest addition to the white rhino world population. He is only a few months old but full of fire. We got to watch the baby run while his mom tried to keep up with him for at least half a mile. Up and down the hills and around a few trees. It was so cool. There is no way a picture will ever do it justice.

This is a good picture of the jeep you take on the safari ride. The safari is two weeks long but our driver got off course and ended up close to camp so they let us off early (wink, wink)

This gorilla would not turn her head so anyone could take her picture. Sound like anyone else?

This is an over friendly ostrich. He was pretty close to sticking his head in our jeep.

It was early. I am not sure how awake Addie was but she did think the animals were cool when we saw them.

I don't remember what these are but you can see how close you get to the animals.

I wish we had more time to go back on the safari when we were done the first time but we had to get over to Donald's breakfast. Every ride is totally different because you never know what the animals will do. What a prefect way to end a vacation.
