143--South Africa: African Safari @ CherieSpotting     Jul 31 2003 - 09:20 PST cherie writes: Renee, Kristi and I signed up for an 8-day African Safari (including a visit to Victoria Falls.) We shelled out $600 bucks which included luxurious tent accomodations (but no chocolates on our pillows) and two meals a day for our adventure tour. Thirteen people in all, we headed to Kruger National Park to get up close and personal with the "Big 5" which are considered the most dangerous wild animals by hunters. (Big Five= Leopard, Rino, Elephant, Lion, Buffalo.) Click below to view the animals as we saw them on our Bundu Safari.

Renee, Kristi and Cherie arrive to camp. The tents were already set up for us! Our guide on the night safari. Our first African sunset. A giraffe checks us out. No monkeying around. Little bird joins us for breakfast. Dominique, Arno and Will make breakfast. Dominique takes a taste. Will makes eggs for all 13 people on our tour. Cherie and the Night Safari guide. Kudu (We ate that!) Zebras are cool. Animals always have the right-of-way. Proof that mud baths don't prevent wrinkles. This buffalo is chewing his cud. Renee on safari. Wildebeests running wild. Giraffe. Thirsty giraffe. I've got my "safari hat" on, I'm ready to see more animals! Baby hyenas. Bird watching. Two birds hitch a ride on a zebras back! Baboon on the run. Renee ready to see wildlife! Elephant crossing. You'd never see this sign in the USA. Gill loves the hippos! Warthog. Most of "the gang" on our Bundu Safari. Will was our tour leader. Some of the ladies. Hippos, a little closer. The Buffalo can smell us. (We can smell them, too!) The impala are frightened after a leopard killed their buck. Sunset. Kristi on safari. Will lets this bug come for a ride since he promises it will not bite. Vicky holds the corn cricket even after it bites Anna. Crocs sunning themselves. Lazy hippos. Monkey. Pretty flower. Three ladies on safari. Wildebeests. Elephants, close enough to charge. Giraffe with two zebras. Some people weren't as excited about the animals as others. Baby hyena. Does this say male or female? Renee isn't sure.
