Thur. November 4 and Friday, November 5th

We woke up extra early and went to a movie set for "I Dreamed of Africa".  Here we met Bernie who is the woman that takes care of the place.  She has a pet Meerkat named Timon.  Timon likes to crawl all over you and then look up your nose which is his way of identifing you.  This was very ticklish!  We then got to climb into the back of her pickup truck and feed Giraf her baby giraffe apples.  Then we had to leave Zulu Nyala and drive 13 hours to our next location.  Along the way we saw some very poor neighborhoods, and lots of people walking around carrying very large packages on top of their heads!  We drove through a big wind storm too!  We finally arrived to our Guest House in Mugwase.  In the morning, we went to the welcome center for Sun City and met our guide who took us to the Elephant Wallow for our Elephant Safari.  Daddy and I rode an elephant named Mana.  He was the fastest.  My mommy and sister rode on Chikusenya, which means "Place of Crocodiles".  Her babies name was Tidimalo, which means "Silent One".  We rode all through the game perserve on these elephants!  Once our tour was over we got to actually feed them by hand.  We had to tell them "trunk up" if we wanted to put the food into their mouth or "trunk down" if we wanted to feed them in their trunk.  After this we participated in a Drumminjg Circle.  We got to play the African Drum and learn all about the instruments.  That afternoon we went back to our guest house to rest and go for a swim.
