Back home

After an amazing adventure and 32 hours of traveling, Mom and I made it back to Raleigh on Friday. I'm slowly readjusting to life in the States, mainly that it's hot here!

We had an awesome time on the safari. The weather, lodges and food were great but the game viewing was unbelieveable. We saw the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) and even had several very intimate lion encounters. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Lions eating their prey, an 800kg buffalo (and we were 10ft away in an open vehicle!)

Look closely... Yes, that's a leopard cruising by the jeep


Our favorite animal, the elephant

Hope you all have enjoyed following me through South Africa. I'll be in Raleigh for the next week and then start school on July 6. Wish me luck!
