Day 12: a day in the wild- at the Game Reserve

 What an amazing afternoon... to literally come within 30-40 feet of  elephants, elan, and zebras and 5-10 feet of ostriches, rhinos (one faked a charge at our jeep), and lions (no typo). We saw 4 of the Big 5 (no leopards:-(

                         A charging rhino- thankfully it stopped charging after 2-3 hard steps at us

                                    Elephants- elan looking for a quick meal

                                                Ostrich- 8 of them....

                                Water Buffaloes

                                            Even wilder than the Big Five...

                           The King of the Jungle paid us a courtesy visit- within feet of our jeep
