Hi kids!
Greetings from Zambia! Do you know what a safari is? It is a trip you take to see animals and take their pictures. You see a lot of the same animals that you might see at the zoo, but in their own habitat!
We went in a jeep so that it could drive over the ground without a road! We had a guide who knew how to find the animals and keep us safe. His name is Stanley too! We took a picture together:
Before we could see animals, we drove for a while through the land. Here in Zambia, there aren't four seasons like back home. There are only two seasons: Dry season and wet season. Can you guess which season it is now? Look at what I saw:
That's right! Dry season! When the rains start, there will be more leaves on the trees and lots of grasses and flowers.
Soon, we started to see all the animals! I was very excited to see the elephants. They travel in family groups and protect their babies. I even got to see a baby elephant. Look!
I took a picture with the elephants, but I didn't get out of the Jeep!
I also saw a spotted animal with a verrrrrrry long neck! Can you guess what animal I saw?
Here is a picture:
The giraffe was eating, stretching its long neck up to munch on the leaves that other animals can't reach. I took a picture with two of my giraffe friends. Can you find them?
While we were driving, I asked Stanley about some big, giant piles of dirt. He said that they are made by termites, which are a kind of insect that eats wood. They reminded me of all the fire ant hills that I see in my yard in Rock Hill, but way, way bigger! Isn't it amazing that something this big was made by tiny insects?
Our safari was almost over, but we stopped to see one more animal. It was a brown furry animal with a long tail. It liked to run and play. Can you guess which animal it was?
Yes! It was a monkey! Or really, a whole group of monkeys. I had so much fun watching them play by the river.
Well, that's it for now! I will write again soon to tell you more about Zambia.
Your friend,
Flat Stanley
