The amazing thing in this life is that we get to breathe and live where many other creatures are also enjoying a life of their own. The flora and fauna in particular are gifts not just to co-exist with us but their presence alongside us is crucial to the ecosystem. As mankind been bestowed with great intelligence, it is incredible to have the several few among us do great things in bringing together some of the wild creatures closer to us for an encounter and yet still confined in their respective habitats. In this write-up, join me in the time I took my teens to a safari for a good walk through uphill and downhill. An up-close experience with the plains and stripes, the furry, the feathered, and the blooms. Few shots have been randomly collaged to include in this blog as this content is to be deposited in the memory bank.
Look at that vibrant and lush greens! Underneath them was where we trod forward and forward.....getting hungry, sweaty, and exhausted. Thus, it was all a worthwhile experience.
It was one weekend when teens are free from academics and sports when we cheerfully agreed to be at the safari. We must leave early in the morning to enjoy the day fully. Weather was both sunny and cool. And the sweat while going around the hills is good for a workout’s worth. Good way to burn unwanted calories, right? Haha! As we reached our destination, we can evidently feel the fresher air we were breathing. That’s the best thing I love in a place of numerous trees, grasses, and all. Whew! Eager to see what this day could bring, or should I say what I bring to this day? Whatever.😄
Now, let us start with the king of the jungle. Who must be the queen? Of course, the better half.

And more to my favorite king. The type that never majors on minor things.
The closest encounter I’ve ever made but would never do if this glass wall had never partitioned us haha. But honestly, look at that huge paw with big black beans😍. Adorable! Now, let’s go to the stripes and plains.
Which one do you like? Zebra or deer? Hmmm, I like both. Onward, let’s have our tall and mighty friend in its majestic hue.
Next was the amazing creature, who among all of our friends here confidently posed like having its own show of power pose in front of the world as its stage.
Wasn’t that a pretty little pose? Exactly, it knew the lens been focused that way. Unbeatably lovely!
Time to go swimming. Let’s check out some of our friends there.
They were just undeniably cute. Been tempted to pet them, really.
One feisty, one gentle, and one colorfully pretty. Ani-mazing!!!
Ever thought of the famous Rio? How are they related? Let’s go forward to more of our feathered friends.
Now, more four-legged friends we had here.
Then we headed to the blooms in color.
Look! Son must have been tired with all those uphill and downhill walk. Few more steps and we’ll head home.
