Safari Tales

As previously promised a short tale from the family safari:
During our safari drive one morning we had along with our family our driver, Aaron, and a park ranger.  We had already seen the lions and were searching for elephants.  The park ranger instructed our driver around the park through many of the elephants favourite spots, until we came upon an entire herd of them.  Only problem was they were waiting on the road for us.  After watching them munch on the trees and play we wanted to continue on our way.  Much to our driver's dismay the guide figured with the right negotiating they would let us pass.  This was after the guide's common regarding how elephants should be the true king of the jungle as they can step on a car while most animals run from the cars.  As our guide didn't bring his gun with him, we waited for our moment of opportunity and with a little car hitting and bow bowing we made it though, un-stomped.  Watching the elephants in their natural habitat was incredible and I think the entire car let out a breath when we made it through. 

There have been a few requests for pictures from the family safari.  There is a photo album available on my facebook page, please check them out if you would like.
