We went on another Safari today. It was part walking, part driving. We got to walk around for about an hour and a half in this big clearing. We could get as close as 20m to any animals out there. There are no lions or other carnivorous animals in this part of the park so we were safe. Plus we had an armed guide with us.

We only saw water buffalo and pumbas on our walking tour, but it was still pretty cool.

During the driving part we saw tons of baboons. This one is cleaning its friend.

This is like multiple trees that got brought into one. The fig trees here are parasitic so they just attach to other trees. You can drive a car under this! Crazy.

We saw a few herds of giraffes which was pretty cool because all of the ones we saw yesterday were solitary.

 Flamingos! They are bright pink under their wings so it looks really cool when they take off. Also I didn't see tons standing on one leg. I don't know if I saw any...

 We saw a ton of Colobus monkeys right at the end. This little baby was so cute! It kept trying to climb the tree and grab the leaves. There were tons right on this tree. They got in a fight and ran away right as we were leaving.

Safaris are super cool.
