We went to two places in South Africa to see the animals: the Lion Park in Johannesburg (where you can pet lion cubs, feed giraffes, and drive into gated areas with lions roaming around) and Pilanesburg Game Reserve, about a 2 hour drive from Joburg. Bruce, Rich Franzen, and the boys went on an early morning safari by themselves and were charged by a bull elephant. The video below shows the fun!

Quite a bit beyond our Safari adventure near Seattle! (Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula?)
