Yup, this is the actual Nile and we were really this close. One of many awesome sights.

Sunrise? Sunset? You decide.

This was kinda pushin' it. Check out those tusks.

These really are much bigger when twenty feet away and with no protection.

Who says Elder Beachley is a-social? Look how quickly he makes friends with other species!

Animals? Yeah, we saw animals. We counted over 200 girraffes. Close to that many elephants in numerous herds. Also, lions, cape buffalo, wart hogs, monitor lizards, a variety of deer, hippos, crocs etc. More pictures to come.

This is George Tafu, our guide. You may see his AK47. No, I don't think it's for show. Standing in the back of a pickup at 30 MPH we had a great gospel discussion. At the end of the day I asked him if I could get one of his safari patches. He said it wasn't possible as they are embroidered on the uniform. However, 30 minutes later he came to me with a jacket like his. He wanted to give it to me but I insisted on paying him for it.

The next day I asked the receptionist where I could find George and she asked which one. I didn't know his last name so she asked me to describe him. I said he was short and black. She laughed and responded, "Of course". Anyway we located him and I gave him a Book of Mormon.
