Stormy safari


April 3,  Richard’s Bay, South Africa

Today we took a safari in the rain.  We saw giraffes and zebras from a ways away.  We saw a Buffalo and some Wildebeests.  While driving we came up on an elephant right next to the road.  One of the ladies got a picture of it rubbing its bum on a stone wall.  It looks like he’s sitting on it.  We are going to try to get that photo from her.  If we do, we will post it on the blog.

We also saw some rhinos up close.  The first time there were 2 in the middle of the road.  We later saw a mom with 2 babies.  At the very end, we saw a mom warthog- you know Pumba, with 3 fat babies.  They were right next to us on the side of the road.

It was a cool day but I wish I saw a cheetah or lion.  The Captain saw a lion so we heard.
