Safari: Part Two

This is where it gets good: The actual sightings of the African animals in their natural habitat. We woke up at another good hour of 630 am and piled in the Safari van in which Ronald drove. 
The man himself.
Ashley and I in our safari van enjoying the scenery
 Those grey things in the water are not rocks. Those, are hippos.
These I believe are antelope 
 Here we have a cute whiddle monkey
 Favorite animal of the whole Safari...the giraffe. 
 HYENA
 Water buffalo. I personally think he looks like more like George Washington.
 The Crusted Crane. (the Ugandan state bird)
 My Favvvvv
 My second fav...the elephant.

We came home from the Safari and we're so tired because we woke up so early. Therefore we took a power nap. The nap only lasted about 45 minutes because we had to embark on our jungle cruise not at Disneyland but in Africa adventure. Otherwise known as boat safari. Mallory and I were so out of it for the first half hour. We kept laughing and we're barely awake. 





 We spotted an alligator

 More Hippos
 You don't even understand how beautiful this is in person
Love love love us
 Like really? GORGEOUS

 No but seriously, is this real life?
Honestly I was so overwhelmed how beautiful it all was. The animals. Rocks. Water. Trees. The sun. They are all so simple but when put together, create something spectacular called Africa. 

Later that night we hung out with the employees of the camp we were staying at. We had a nice dance party and laughed so hard. They demonstrated how different people from different countries dance. Their American impersonation was spot on. The literally just went crazy and fist pumped hahaha.
This is Rodgers. He is the manager and is from Zambia. He sounds Jamacan. He nick named me iRobot and thought it was hilarious. I didn't even get it because I wasn't even being robotic. hahaha In addition he had this rule where every Friday was his "no" day so he literally said no to everything. Then he got over it by the time we started dancing haha
 Oh Jones. He is quite the character. He always wore an awesome hat and was so smiley and had the best laugh ever. He changed his name everyday and his reasoning for it was because everyday is a new day. hahaha. Valid reasoning. 
 I don't even know how this happened, but it did and it was you guessed it, hilarious.


Hahahahah Becks. Not gunna lie I found him kinda creepy when I first saw him because he was just hanging around with a turtle neck on. Come to find out he worked the morning shift and he was quite the fireball as well. Oh man, I will never forget these African men,
The morning came and it was time to say goodbye. It was so sad because they were so fun and we bonded with them so hard. Apon departure, they pretty much implied that we were their favorite tourists that have been there. Best weekend everrrrr
