On Sunday we went to a safari lodge called Chengeta that was awesome! We each got to choose two activities to do so we picked things that we won’t get to do later at Antelope Park. We chose to canoe down the Seruwi River and to do a game drive.

The canoeing was so peaceful and beautiful. It was one of those times where the beauty of God’s creation is thrown at your face and you can’t help but appreciate it. We saw lots of cool looking birds and even had an eagle flying with us for most of the trip. After canoeing we ate lunch and then went on the game drive through the park. He told us the park was 7,000 and something acres and they have all kinds of game, with the cape buffalo being the most dangerous animal there.

 We stopped at the lions first, who were actually in an enclosed area and were up close to the fence so we got to take pictures with them. Our guide warned us that we had to keep an eye on one of the big males while we were taking pictures because he gets protective and when Jaclyn went to take her picture he charged the fence coming after her and scared us all to death. After that adrenaline rush, we got back in the land rover and headed out to the rest of the open park to look for game. We saw warthogs right away and then some giraffes. It’s so much cooler to see them in the open than it is to see them behind a fence at the zoo! We also saw impala and a big group of wildebeests. We had to cut the drive a little bit short so that we could get back before dark but we still got to see some good stuff. Our guide’s name was Richard and he was so sweet and knowledgeable. I had so much fun and would go back right now if I could.
