These past two days have been amazing!! We were all surprised by Mr. Gray when he said we were leaving super early in the morning to go to a safari lodge and stay overnight. None of us had been on a safari before, and we were ecstatic about it but we had a 6 hour drive to get there. After waking up at 4:45 am, we piled into the bus and van and we drove for what felt like forever. But then we made it to the lodge in time for the safari on the Nile River. We went on a boat and saw tons of hippos, some elephants, giraffes, and other cool animals. After the boat ride we stayed at a super nice hotel at the lodge and ate a huge, yummy dinner -- probably one of our best yet. We went to bed early because we were all really tired and we had another early morning after-- we were going on a real safari in cars the next day. The national park is HUGE and the safari was AMAZING. We started it around sunrise and stayed out for a few hours; we saw tons of elephants, giraffes and buffalo up close!! I know it's the coolest thing I've ever done and I'm confident that others feel the same way. Now we are driving home, and even though all the traveling is brutal, it was all extremely worth it.
