Thanks for being patient with me, everyone! I moved this weekend which was both fun AND busy/crazy but now I am getting back into a normal routine, which includes the retelling of our December Disney trip.
We then made our way to Africa, as we had a breakfast reservation at Tusker House.
We were able to see Everest, saying "hello" from Asia!
Hello again, Tree of Life!
We still had about 30 minutes until our breakfast reservation, so we wandered over to the Kilimanjaro Safari to see the wait and it was........10 minutes.
Yes, you read that correctly. It was 10 minutes, on New Years Eve morning.
WILD!
So of course, we made our way through the line and got ready to board our vehicle for our 2 week trek through Africa!
In reality, our "wait" was more like 3 minutes.
I will now regale you with pictures of the safari. I have done this safari each time I've been to Disney World (and sometimes multiple times each trip) but I can say, this was one of the BEST I've ever done.
Look, a baby giraffe! (all together now - AWWW!)
I was trying to get a cute picture of adult and baby together...and then the adult started peeing. Real classy, giraffe. Real classy. :)
More baby cuteness! I think, technically, this is a "teenage" elephant. They stay with their mother until they're about 12-13 years old.
For Ms. Caren and Ms. Bella - MINGOS!
The next few pictures do not accurately display what we saw with the lions. First, we saw a male AND female lion, at the same time. In all the safaris I've done, we've only seen one or another. They are pretty illusive and prefer to sleep out of sight on the rocks.
They were chasing each other around - it was awesome to see them running! I tried to get some good pictures as we passed but I mostly just enjoyed watching them. It was pretty cool.
After the lions, we say a few other animals before our safari ended.
After you get off the safari, you can wind your way around some more trails to see other animals. The gorillas were in rare form today; this one was having fun walking around with a bucket on his head.
Perhaps he was feeling anti-social that day.
We then walked the few steps over to Tusker House, hungry and ready for our breakfast!
