Actually, it was a game reserve. That’s right, I went to a game reserve today and drove around in one of those humvee things with open areas to look through. We saw many kinds of animals including zebras, rhinos, brierbuck, antelope (means large glossy eyes in Swahili), elephants, leopards, crocodiles, hippos, warthogs, and some other animals I can’t remember right now. For the most part, we just drove around, sighted some animals, and then drove up extremely close to take pictures while our tour guide told us cool facts about the animals. When we went to see the lions, we had to enter a special area and we ended driving up about 3.5 feet away from these lions – without any fences or anything between us. It was so cool! They have terrifying stares though, so it was a bit creepy, but it was definitely awesome. We saw four of the big 5 (elephant, lion, leopard, rhino, cape buffalo), only missing the Cape buffalo because they were hiding. After we saw the animals, we went to a buffet lunch. It was pretty good food.
