The "Circle of Life" comes alive!

Driving down the steep canyon walls and among animals I almost burst into songs from the Lion King. It really is amazing. All the animals live together in harmony.

Animals live here in the canyon basin only distrubed by the safari trucks, thunderstorms...and they friends/predators.

"Over there, but they're crowded and its about to rain. How about 10,000?" "No thank you." Amy and I start walking towards the bus stop. The man is...

Africa Savy Tips for traveling It was my friend Amy's first trip to Africa. She came up with these Africa Savy tips and rules to live by on your trip to Africa. 1. Keep windows in cab rolled up.
