Heres a link to that story with many awesome photos of the Big 5 animals! https://steemit.com/photography/@clint01/big-5-at-ulusaba-richard-branson-s-private-game-reserve

🐘( This photo is from that same story , where you will find many more of the Big 5 ! )🐘

I was excited to share this as it brought back many memories of when i was a child, living in Ontario , and my parents took me to the African Lions Safari located in Hamilton Ontario! It was so scary but fun all at the same time! This i definitely remember the giraffes walking right by the car! And looking into the windows! Their so tall!

And of course there were many lions roaming around! As you slowly drive through the safari! Its really quite amazing!
Not to mention the monkeys! Lots and lots of monkeys! Would jump right into your car and look in at you through the windshield ! And and not think twice about pulling your wiper blades right off! Bending or breaking your antenna, or anything else they could get a hold of! Of course everyone is warned before entering that they are not responsible for any damage! Lol!

I have been back there once to visit family, and brought my ex husband who was totally amazed! I do have photos of my own which are in a photo album, we didnt have cell phones back in those days! But some day i will transfer them and many more pictures onto a disc or memory chip, not sure how it works , and be able share with you guys more older photos from the past! Some vintage!
This post was alot of fun for me ! And brought back many wonderful memories that i will never forget! If you ever have a chance in the summer time you really should check it out with your family! I guarantee its something they will always remember! Please reply! All comments are much appreciated! Thanks for taking this safari trip with me, it was a blast from the past! And i really hope you enjoyed both stories as much as I did ! 🐘💙🐘

Oh thanks! Im glad you liked it! 😉

nice article - only hope they do not do an ELEPHANT SHOW anymore as thats just cruel- they are to majestic to do party tricks!

I dont think they do anymore, but they were always very well taken care of there ! It wasnt like the circus! Its a very large area like a safari, these are all animals that were either rescued or injured or couldnt survive in the wild for many reasons, some retired there after being kept in zoos. Its a kind of sactuary i guess for them. Thanks for your awesome reply! Much appreciated! 🐪🐆🦁🐘
