 Thanks for all the votes and comments!

It must have been at least a decade since we visited the African Lion Safari, so this trip that was long overdue! What a blast! We saw everything, from lions fighting to monkeys completely disassembling a Hummer. We are still in total disbelieve what they did to that brand new vehicle. You know those pretty roof lights the Hummer has? Or the tail lights? Imagine how funny the car looks without them. Imagine just a bunch of wires hanging out!

Once again - thank you for all the votes and comments!
