Wow man, there's been a lot of work put into this post! Just out of curiosity, how long did it take u to finish it?

Thanks. Between the tweaking of the edits of the pictures for this post, coming up with the writing and then the markdown, I think I have spent a total of 7 hours on this one post. lol. I wanted to make sure it looked good for everyone that was going to see it.

Wow! What a stunning post @derangedvisions. Your photos are gorgeous. That close up of the lion is a bit scary. Not sure I would have gotten that close.

Thank you for stopping by and I am glad that you liked my post and the pictures. Don't worry about the lion, I was safe behind the glass, but I really did want to get closer. I would risk a lion attack to get a sweet picture. lol

That was like three posts. ;) You had me laughing with the lion story. I would totally be wanting to pet them. I've pet quite a few lions, actually. And some tigers... on the other side of a fence. They are such powerful animals! But these lived at a sanctuary and were happy. Well fed. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! Here's a pic of me with a friend.

Thanks, I had some great post writing teachers in The Alliance classroom ;) This one did end up being quite a bit longer than anticipated, but I wanted to only make the safari portion of my African Stories a 3 part saga. If I took all the pictures out of it, it really wouldn't be that long of a post though.

You are lucky that you actually got to touch a lion and some tigers. When I start traveling more, I am hoping to hold a sloth while climbing Machu Picchu, pet a baby tiger in the Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and many more adventures. The world has so many awesome things to do and see.

Absolutely wonderful!!! Will resteem this post and followed you too! Keep up the good work!

That was a lot of fun to follow!

I didn't trust that hippo as far I could throw it, and that isn't far at all.

Chuckled at that and other gems. I think the hippo would rather sit on ya.

And the sunrise! Whoo.... Thanks for sharing these great photos and stories.

Lol, I am glad that some people appreciate the jokes that I throw in there. Hippos are some of the most dangerous animals in Africa. They kill so many people every year. They are super territorial and bite people in half. I always laughed on the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland because they always had the hippos right next to the boats. They usually attack fisherman by knocking them out of their boats and then killing them.

It's hard to believe this could be such a monster when it grows up.
