I think that I was so excited to hear a lion that I woke myself up last night. Sadly, no hearing of lions, but I think I may have heard a hyena and some animal grazing outside the tent. Getting up at six to go out on safari proved not very good today. I was surprised because I thought animals were more active early in the day. In our rooms at Oliver's there are whistles in case something happens at night! The manager here, Marcus, goes barefoot because he left his shoes out one day and a hyena at them!
We saw our first Cheetah today. They were not as bright as I had expected, and she blended so well into the back round. We woke up from our afternoon naps today, and there was a giant elephant a few feet from our tent! We looked each other right in teh eye and then I took off back into my tent until he left to join his herd.
Afternoon Safari: We saw our first lions! Ammy was able to spot them from so far away! He saw their legs sticking up in the air. We were able to drive up very close to the male and female. They were napping. The male really looks like Mufasa. Ammy told us by the way that they were sleeping they were in breeding, and sure enough, we waited about 30minutes and got to see how nature happens! It all happens in less than ten seconds. Dad kept saying to Andrew who had the camera, "Shoot Shoot Shoot! If you screw this up, I am disowning you!". We now have approximately 100 pictures of lions mating!
