This blog describes my adventures in Africa. In 2018, this will be my 4th trip to Africa. I traveled to Rwanda in March 2016, and Kenya and Tanzania in the Spring, 2015, and Kenya in 2010. On our journey, we'll be visiting schools, centers for people with disabilities, making friends, looking for animals and finding adventure wherever we go. Wahoo!!!!

Awesome Today

I learned today in real life that giraffes have blue tongues, they are 2 feet long and they like to lick noses...




And it's a true fact that elephants have 2 foot long ears.
And they like soccer balls


We went to the elephant orphanage today.  Mostly all of them lost their moms, who died, because hunters (poachers) wanted to take their ivory tusks.  This baby elephant lost her tail and part of her private parts from hyenas.  




so do you remember the post "Giraffes have blue tongues and other interesting facts about animals like him?"(look at that post and look at the ostrich) We saw a real ostrich that doesn't look like Dracula  

I could not sleep last night.  hopefully tonite will be better.

kuahari!!!

    I LOVED seeing the baby elephants - they were sooo cute! They are all orphans and you can "adopt" one to help save its life. Check out the David Sheldrick animal orphanage website

    Ohhhh, the poor baby elephants. It is so fantastic that there are people looking out for them. People are awesome!
    What, no Dracula ostriches? We thought you had discovered a new species.
    Kwahari!
