After Outrunning The Cheetah . . .

Riding on a bus of 20 law students who all want to do something different is not exactly a whole lot of fun. But in between changing plans and bumpy roads, we had a great time. We started off at the Giraffe Center feeding and petting giraffes. Some of them can be quite affectionate, especially when you're holding a food pellet next to your cheek.


Across from the Giraffe Center is a nature hike where Jock, the big male Giraffe is housed. We spotted him next to the road.


Afterwards, we headed to Mamba Village. Mamba is Swahili for Croc. There were plenty huge crocodiles here including the ones behind me.


A cage full of cheetahs just looked like too much fun. We hopped in and outran the cheetahs for a while. After they tired out, they let us pet them (OK, the reality is that the guards let us and were kind enough to take our pictures with the cheetahs; it wasn't until afterwards that we learned how close it was to feeding time).
