Getting Cozy with the Wildlife

Camping in Africa is a wondrous experience. Animals are everywhere.
A run through of some of the animal experiences we have had at our campsites around are tent are as follows:
1. Goats and monkeys at one campsite.
2. Cows and dogs at another.
3. Geese.
4. Lions, hyenas, and buffalo.
5. Elephants (5 ft behind Michelle as she went to the bathroom) and zebra eating the grass around our tents.
6. Warthogs and hippos chilling as we drank soda and watched the sun
set beside a lake.
7. Frogs and lizards in the shower.
Monkeys were at multiple campsite and not only almost attacked me (apparently he didn't like my picture taking), but also stole food from nearby campers.
Truly energizing experiences that put me more in touch with nature than anything possibly could.


This is the trash can that we heard being moved by hyenas across the campsite in the night time.
