Another Sunday in Africa…

April 15th, 2012 mfmccl13

Just had to share these photos from one of the most memorable days yet.  I went on two game drives today: one in the morning just for fun and one in the afternoon to conduct some preliminary tests for our big final project (details coming soon…)  Enjoy 🙂

The greatest treat of all was seeing the pack of wild dogs.  Many a tourist has come to Africa seeking the rare African wild dog (also known as the painted dog) and many have left disappointed.  Wild dogs are exceptionally hard to find, but if you’re lucky enough to come across them it is amazing.  We came upon them as they were surrounding a wildebeest.  As the wildebeest walked away unscathed, we sat in the vehicles with our jaws to the ground.  They then proceeded to play just as your furry friends at home do.  I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
