Animals on Safari

 We finally realized we needed to do the Safari tour before we could do anything else.  We had 2 choices.  We could take the bus for an additional $10 a person, or spend $4 for an audio box and drive our own car through.  The bus let you feed animals through bars, but at $10 a head, we decided it wasn't worth it.  It was still $24 per adult and $12 per kid.  The lady at the booth seemed to think we were confused when we said 3 adults and 4 children.  She finally realize there were, indeed, 7 of us in the van and took our money.

It felt a little bit like Jurassic Park.  You go through these huge gates that close behind you and you have an audio tour that changes when you reach the next point.  There were several series of gates- the predators were kept separate for obvious reasons!

Some animals could come right up to the car (but only the canal did) and we were suppose to keep windows up, which we actually did.  We still got pretty close and saw lots of cool animals.  However, it was rather sad and the animals were a bit depressing.  Still, pretty cool to see them.

I'm just going to post the photos, since you probably know what everything is! No extreme zooming was done at all, FYI.
