Pictures do no Justification

Our day began bright and early as we departed for the Safari at Shischulie. They have the Big Five there, which consists of lions, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, and rhino, but the chances of seeing all is rare. There are only 120 lions for the property which is around 95,000 acres. We split off into two vans and we were off.

Both vans had similar experiences. A few giraffes were spotted, some warthogs, and some indigenous birds. As exciting as it was this was considered child’s play for what was to happen next. A rustling in the bushes grabbed our attention so we came to a halt. Out of the bushes walked an elephant and its’ child. They were the leaders of the group apparently because in the next 10 minutes, 25 elephants were to follow. One group had an experience like none they have had before. The noise from the cameras frustrated one of the dominate males, who began to charge the van from the back. He ended his little rampage by sneezing on two of the members of our group.

Today was by far one of the most amazing days on the trip. We all agreed that you have not truly lived until you have experienced these exotic animals in their habitat.
