Safari Animals!

After breakfast in the lodge we all met at 8:00 for the Safari Trip. Ruaha National Park was a short trip down the road. We no sooner entered the park when we were seeing elephants feeding at the side of the road. That was the beginning of a full day of almost non-stop wildlife viewing. Alex, our driver from yesterday, was our guide today. He made sure we saw elephants, giraffs, zebras, hippos, crocs, a cheatah family, a leopard, a pack of lions & many, many more animals. The highlight was a showdown with an elephant blocking our way on the road. I think that is the closest anyone of us ever wants to be to an angry wild elephant, and we were very close.
