Safari in Africa


Looking back on the wonderful times I spent traveling the world, it makes me think about our 1996 safari trip in Africa. My husband and I were staying at the Mala Mala, which are similar to huts, but really nice, upscale huts. We woke up the morning of our safari and opened our sliding glass doors overlooking the land, and right outside our room was a beautiful herd of rhinos. It was amazing! We toured the reserve in jeeps and saw a wild kill. It was a female lion killing a warthog, which were plentiful on the land. As we approached the lion, she took off running with us in pursuit through the jungle. The terrain was rugged, so we all had to hang on tight as the jeep tore across the land chasing the lion and her kill. We couldn't believe our eyes when we followed the lion back to cubs. She killed the hog to feed her cubs. It was an experience straight out of Planet Earth!
