I also have video I would like to show you of our lion encounter and elephant experience. Its just going to take awhile to download it to youtube. For you elephant experience My 2 aunts, My sister Kaila, and I rode elephants on an elephant back safari. For the Lion encounter we got to walk with lions. They both were great experiences! I will try to get them on here as fast as I can!

It was very fun to ride the elephants! Their skin is surprisingly hard and they are very hairy! Even more to show!

Kelsey, that was surely a tremendous experience! I wished also to be with you and swim with this beautiful crocodile!
I'm glad you enjoyed a lot and that you wanted to share your joy with us.
I edited slightly your 1st post because bullets were not showing as well pictures' post once Eiffel tower was also not showing. :)
I'll only ask you to resize your pictures to 800 pxls wide!

Wow! That must of been so fun, you looked like you enjoyed it, your making me more jealous

You walked with my favourite animal, lions!!

These cubs were 5 months old. There was also a set of year old cubs but they wanted to keep me and my sister safe because they felt we would be picked on because we were smaller than everyone else! Once the cubs turn 18 months, they plan on releasing them back into the wild.Its a really great program on increasing the lions population. Lions are such beautiful animals!

Im not very sure! But they had to be around 10 years old. We learned tons and tons of new things and I got to enjoy what I love the most, animals. :)

Although the Eiffel tower is great and the African plains the animals are far the best!

Yep!I was so surprised by the diversity of all the animals esp. the antelope species.

The pictures are great--I esp. love the Cape Buffalo looking right at you as well as the elephants . It must have been a wonderful experience.

I went to East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) in 1997 and hope to go to Southern Africa in the future. It wa a trip of a lifetime!

Coel, the antelopes were pretty large. More so the males with those beautiful horns!

It must of been so exciting to see them but shocked to see how large, because you wouldn't want one of those charging at you

wow! great photos, the elephants look big, you must of saw every animal there was to see in africa

Wow amazing photos Kelsey.
It must have been hard to forget a trip

Victoria falls look so beautiful! Lucky girl! While you are feeding elephants I'm feeding geese and ducks, but I enjoy anyway!
As a collector I never noticed how beautiful is a gnu lying.

Thank you very much, Coel, Alvaro, and Roger! The elephants were huge.They were as tall as us lying down, imagine them standing up. We saw pretty much every animal but a cheetah! Yes Roger, a gnu lyind down would make a great figure *hint hint*. More pics to come!

More pics to come! You must have your own photo album!
