Safari Canadian Style

We went on a 3-day safari to Tsavo East and West National Park. It was a lot of driving with long days. The children were excellent and very excited to see the different animals. We were able to observe many types of animals very close to the vehicle. The first animal we saw, noticed by Kyle, were elephants. We stayed at lodges, which had swimming pools that were relatively near the dugout where animals would come.

On evening during our dinner, again looking over the dugout, they placed mutton (goat) on a wooden structure that a spotted leopard came to eat. The dinning area became electric; we were all very excited to see the leopard so close. A couple from the UK stated this was their 3^rd trip into Tsavo West and had not seen the leopard. Ty, Tait, and Kyle’s favorite animal was the spotted leopard. Jordan was most interested in the lion and the lion pack.

On the last day we also stopped at Mzima Springs, which is a big habitat of the hippopotamus. Ty thought it was really “cool” to see so many big animals in the water.

The McLeans needed a few days to recover from the safari excursion.
