(note: this is one of my pre-scheduled posts set to appear at 5:00am EST each morning I am in a port city. I will post follow-up information about each trip once I am able to get back on the computer.)

Update:
I'm only posting a short update right now and I'll try to give the detailed update on the safari trip when I have more time to write later tonight. The short update is that everyone made it back to the ship with minimal incidents (there were some arrogant and really stupid students though...I'll tell you more about them later). The guide said she thought the group was pretty calm compared to other groups she had so I guess that is good. As for the animals we saw on the safari...of the "big 5" we saw buffalo, elephants and rhino (no lion or leopard sightings). We also saw zebra, giraffe, nyala, hyena, monkeys, baboons, impala, warthogs, wildebeest, duiker, ostriches and pythons. I'll try to upload my photos shortly and post the longer, more detailed update on the trip later.
