After the tour in the truck, we got to walk around and see some of the other animals.

Dave talking to us about Safari West.

In the aviary where they keep birds from all over, not just Africa.

A Sacred ibis.

Sacred and Scarlet ibis wandering around.

A Chinese Golden Pheasant. 

A scimitar horned Oryx. This animal is supposed to be extinct in the wild.

A mother warthog and he baby, hiding behind her.  And it isn't just in Disney movies that warthogs stink.  They stink in person, believe me.

An African Crested Porcupine.  We were lucky to see this guy out an about during the day.

Madeleine watching the tortoise walk by.

And here is the big draw, the cheetahs.  Two sisters, no less.  For $150 you can get your picture taken with them.  Otherwise, you have to hang out on the other side of the fence like this.

Daddy walking around Safari West.

Up close with the giraffe.

A view of one of the close-in compounds for the animals.  You can see the green-roofed tent-cabins you can stay in if you opt to spend the night at Safari West.

Our family posing with Dave in front of the truck in which we rode around.  You can sit on top of the drivers station if you want, and if you are tall enough.

A large hornbill that hopped around the main grounds.  He wasn't bothered by anybody.

The macaws again.

A serval, a very pretty African cat, about twice the size of an average house cat.

The serval was nice enough to pose for us before we left.  Up to this point he was buried in one corner of his pen asleep.

Madeleine in front of one of the giraffe.

Our last picture.  We were posed in front of the giraffe when it leaned over and tried to get a leaf that Madeleine was holding.  Up close with the wild life!
