Day 2: Kilimanjaro Safari


The time had finally arrived for us to ride what is deemed one of the most interesting rides in the park.  It is a open truck ride through the African plains where you really feel like you are on a guided safari!  The animals are RIGHT.UP.IN.YOUR.FACE!  We had to stop several times for giraffes and rhinos crossing the road!  Mr. Independent did not want to sit on anyone’s lap like a “baby” so I’m not sure he got to see as much (except for the few times we grabbed him so he could see)!
Almost our turn!

Mr. Independent was required to ride in the middle if not on a lap.

This giraffe ended up hanging out in the road for awhile, but he was fun to watch!

Had to wait for these white rhinos to cross!

We went over an “old bridge” that almost “fell” as we were crossing!  It was actually pretty fun!

Here is a video from the safari!
When the ride ended (O said it was too long), it was time to head to our character lunch at the Tusker House!
