flying in africa



most kids on their birthday get a new video game. or a basketball. well for my birthday i flew a plane. on our safari we go from lodge to lodge in little five seater planes. well at firs i got in the cockpit just because that was an open seat. the the pilot let me just put my hands on the wheel at take off(he was still flying). so i thought that he would fly the plane while i had my hands on the wheel. then i felt a sudden drop in altitude. i looked over at the pilot and i see that his hands are not on the wheel. he looked at me and said you doing good. then he showed me one of the most important gages on the dash board. that gage showed me if i was going down(dropping in altitude) or going up(rising in altitude). then it showed how many feet per min. i was dropping if i was going down. so when we saw the landing strip i said to the pilot "this is awesome" my reply…."good because you landing it" i landed safely on the ground with a little help from the pilot.

when i got off that flight i sat their and said "I JUST FLEW A PLANE"

BE CARFUL IN THE BUSH


YOU KNOW THOSE NASTY LIONS THAT WHER IN THE STORY ABOVE. YOU MIGHT THINK THEY ARE COOL BUT YOU WONT IF YOU STEP ON IT. YOU COULD BE WALKING IN THE BUSH JUST LOOKING FOR SOME CUTE BIRDS OR MONGUSE. THE YOU STEP ON SOMETHING SOFT. YOU LOOK DOWN AND YOUY SEE 2 PAIRS OF BEETY EYES. 1 SNARALING NOSE. AND ABOUT 40 PIERCING TEETH. AND YOU ARE STANDING ON ONE VERY HUNGRY BELLY. IF THIS EVER HAPPENS TO YOU DONT RUN…JUST DONT RUN!!! FOOD RUNS!!!! THE LION WILL THINK YOU ARE FOOD. BUT HE WILL BE CONFUSED AND HE WILL JUST STARE. THEN YOU NEED TO BACK AWAY SLOWLY. THE LION IS SO SWIFT THAT IF YOU LOOK AWAY FOR 1 SECOND HE WILL BE GONE. BACK AWAY UNTILL YOU LOOSE SIGHT OF HIM THEN GO TO A LODGE OF CAMP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

LEPORD VS LION



LEPORD VS. LION


TODAY WE WENT ON THE MOST AMAZING SAFARI YET! IT WAS A MORNING SAFARI. WE GOT A RADIO CALL OF A LEPORD IN A TREE! WE HAVE NOT SEEN A LEPORD IN A TREE YET SO THAT WHOULD BE VERY THRILLING! THE LEPORD WAS IN THE TREE BECAUSE I LION SAW IT. THE LEPORD AND THE LION ARE BITTER ENEMIES. THEY ARE ALWAYS STEALING EACH OTHERS FOOD, FIGHTING, AND IN A COMPATITION OF THE TITEL OF ''KING OF THE JUNGLE''. THE LION CHASED THE LEPORD BECAUSE IT WANTED TO KILL IT. THE LEPORD WAS A MOTHER SO IF THE LION COULD GET ITS PAWS ON THE LEPERD IT WOULD ELIMANATE THE LEPORED AND THE CUBS. THAT WOULD ELIMANATE THE COMPATITION. THE LEPORD HAD TO ESCAPE, ITS CUBS WHERE HUNGRY. THE LIONS GUARDED THE BOTOM OF THE TREE FIRSLY. THE LIONS STARTED TO GET UNFOCUSED ON THE LEPORD HOPEING SHE WOULD STARVE TO DEATH IN THE TREE. THE LEPORD CRPT DOWN BRANCH BE BRANCH TRYING NOT TO EVEN MAKE THE SLIGHTEST NOISE. IT GOT CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM, DOWN TO THE TRUNK STILL SILENT, INTO THE REACH OF THE LIONS. STILL ABOUT TEN FEET IN THE AIR. SHE MADE A GIANT LEEP OF FAITH. IT FELT LIKE SHE WAS IN THE AIR FOR HOURS, BUT IT ONLY TOOK THREE SECONDS UNTILL THE LIONS SAW HER. THE LIONS POPED THERE HEADS UP AND THE LEPORD RAN, SHE RAN AND RAN AND RAN. SHE RAN AS FAST AS HER LEGS COULD CARRY HER…..SHE MADE IT TO SAFETY. I WAS SO REALIFED. RIGHT NOW AS YOU READ THIS SHE IS SITTING AND CARRING FOR HER CUBS. NOW SHE HAS SOME EXPIRIENSE WITH THOSE NASTY LIONS.

south africa fun

wow i have done so much! i went on safari and saw a lion with a kill. our safari was at madikwe safari lodge. our guide was named andes he was super nice! our hotel was really nice to!

in cape town we went sand boarding. that is when you are on a snow bored going down a sand dunes. it was amazing and it didn't hurt as much as when you fall compared to snow boarding.


we also swam with GREAT WHITE SHARKS!!!!!!! we were in a cage of course and they where about 12 feet long. it was safe though.



 today i saw a hippo, well a few of them. i saw one yawn and its tooth was like 3ft long! there was a croc right next to it!!!! this whole trip has been a huge adventure.
