January 29, 2013 – Our First Day at the Safari

Hi this is Bill; we’re on our first day of safari. We had an absolutely awesome day.

We saw elephants and rhinoceros, and lions, and turtles, and fallows, and hundreds and hundreds of elephants. We saw buffalo and we saw giraffes. And it’s just been an amazing day to see all these animals up close. We’re still out right now. It’s around 6 o’clock, 6pm our time. And we’re still out looking at the animals, but it’s just been an amazing, amazing experience to see them out in the wild.

David’s treated us very, very well today. He’s gotten us into very great spots to view many, many, animals. So, we’re having fun, hi to everyone back at home and we’ll talk to you soon. Bye!
