Journal Entry 6: Safari-tastic 21st July 2007

From the beginning of the trip to Boru and beforehand Kevin and Eileen thought it'd be a nice idea to maybe take a Safari trip whilst there as it was the perfect place to do so. In order to do it all properly we'd have to be up at 5.30 and there at 6.30. Because of the early start and the beginning of sickness for a few of the team, a few opted out but Kevin, Maria, Avril and myself decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

It nearly didn't happen the next morning due to tiredness, sickness, lack of transport, lack of time but we overcame all odds and managed to go on safari. It was by far one of the most amazing experiences of my life. We saw elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebra, some ultra unusual birds, and I managed to spot a cheetah earlier on too.


We also had the most amazing breakfast in the lodge. My god I missed breakfasts like that. Anyway, the safari was definitely one of the highlights of the trip for me. I got some amazing photos, can't wait to show everyone at home. I really can't word properly how the trip made me feel - just driving along the red sandy road with my head out the top of the safari van seeing the most incredible things, feeling the most incredible things...it was just out of this world.
