Some of these photos are nice, some are just ok. Taken with 3 different cameras becuase there were 3 of us in the car lol.
My family and I took a trip to South Africa for a few days and we got to see some wild life.
We went to a Lion Park (http://www.lion-park.com/) first. Had the trip setup through our transportation company and even had a tour guide.

He gave us some binoculars and my duaghter thought that was pretty cool.
