Safari Day 2

We woke up before the sun today in order to see the animals in their morning bustle.  We were not ten minutes out of camp when we came upon a pack of 5 elephants.  One "cheeky fellow" began threatening the vehicles adn even fake charged at one point.  It was an amazing start to a day of big game sightings. 

I am slightly distracted right now because of what has happened in the last thirty minutes.  Me, Riley, and Matt bulit a fire outside of our bungalow.  It was slightly raining so it was difficult, but at one point matt went out to collect some dry twigs and suddenly came back sprinting saying that he heard a growl.  We stopped to listen and from the bushes again came a low growl.  We freaked and barricaded ourselves on the porch and were too afraid to do anything else.  Which brings us to now... now I am listening to the strange howl of a hyena, something you only hear on television... but its real and more chilling than ever.  Now we sit on our porch and await what comes next.  This is Africa!
