Yup, we really were that close to the wildlife. This giraffe just walked across the road in front of our jeep.
A Mommy wart hog with her two little baby wart hogs. Ahhh, what could be more adorable?
Since it is the rainy season, the grass was thick and tall. This made some of the animals difficult to see. However, I was able to take a picture of this zebra. The zebra seemed very interested in us.
I got the opportunity to go with another girl from my Swahili class to the national park that is about 1 and half hours drive from the language school. (I do study here, I promise!) We saw tons of animals and I took enough pictures to go through 2 sets of batteries on my digital camera. I have posted just a few of the pictures here.
A tall friend called a "twiga" in Swahili.
This elephant was every close to the road so we got a very good look at him (or her). An elephant is called "tembo" in Swahili.

Now why don't we have prolific huge animals like this in North America? That's a question with a very long answer I think. Man, I am sure jealous of these experiences you are having, and it's making me want to do some more traveling.
Zebras, giraffes, warthogs, gazelle, wow! And the Swahili words. Find a way to work these into conversation in Swahili (nonchalantly of course).
Did all these take 15 minutes to upload, or did you downsample them to smaller files?
Love,
Aaron.
