Zimbabwe - Elephant Ride and Walk with Lions...






Ok, up and out people! We've got a busy day ahead of us!



Although the sunrise was pretty, this photo is cheating with a 'sunset' orange-ish tinted setting....






Here come the pachyderms...


















And here we are on Tusker for our elephant ride into the woods...










It was so funny...feeding the Tusker those pellets...its nose really is like a vacuum...it was just sucking the pellets into its nose....so funny....








:)










Next on the shhed'wool are of course...


LIONS!


We are the Lion Whisperers....or maybe they were just orphaned and raised by humans so they don't see us as prey ;) You take your pick...



Then suddenly a buffalo showed up....the lions were curious and started following the buffalo even though it was on the other side of a fence....









Master of the Tamed Lions LOL...











Our group....










So kyoot and so deadly at the same time....









Walking the lion as one does....











Our guide, Lawrence, was SO cool and totally looked like Louis Gossett, Jr.! He found a chameleon...they walk so funny...almost like they are dancing...


Thanks Lawrence! Twas fun, twas fun!
