Good Morning Africa!

Not too long ago, me, Wes, Mike, Mickey, and Justin rented ourselves a tiny little car and drove two and a half hours outside of Cape Town to the middle of nowhere to go on a safari. We got a little bit lost on the way (their dirt highways don't have too many signs) but made it to this little oasis of tents and white huts and pools and fire pits. We had our welcome drink and proceeded to go on our first safari of the trip. We saw zebras, walked with giraffes, met Elvis the horrible Cape buffalo, watched cheetahs run at full speed, kept our distance from two huge rhinos, and were followed around by assorted species of antelopes. 

Following the afternoon safari, we got ready for a lovely dinner and went to bed pretty early because the next morning was the sunrise safari. While we didn't get to see any new animals, we did get to see the sunrise. And freeze our butts off for two hours. But I'd say it was worth it.
