Out Of Africa

Last weekend, some friends from work & I took a trip to the Out of Africa Wildlife Preserve in Camp Verde. Although it was rainy and cold the WHOLE time, it was A LOT of fun!!! We got to see all of the animals up close! They would walk right up to the fence and let you take pictures of them.

Before we went to Out of Africa, we had all printed out pictures of animals and colored them. We then made it a point to take a picture, with our picture and designated animal! haha!

When we first arrived, there weren't very many people. Actually, we were one of the first groups to arrive. Which was nice because there were no lines for to pay or to ride the tram around. Because we were some of the first people to arrive, we were able to be the first group to take a safari tour.

The Safari Tour was so awesome! When we got onto the bus, they gave us a carrot to feed the Giraffe. The Giraffe came right up to the bus and suck its head in. Haha! I was so scared. I fed it my carrot and was freaking out! ha! My friend Matt put the carrot in his mouth and let the giraffe eat it out! Gross...but AWESOME! We also go to see zebras, antelope, a camel, and some goats. All in all it was a pretty cool experience.

After the tour, we walked around the park. We saw plenty of tigers, a rhino, lions, wolves, bears, and tons of other animals.

Before we left, we watched the Tiger Splash show. While at the show, Sharon & I got "marked" by a tiger! Yup...that's right...we are now owned by a tiger :( haha! The show was pretty neat. Mostly just watching huge tigers chase people holding objects and jumping into a heated pool. haha!

XOXO
