Game park

Today we went to a game park which to us we thought chucky e' cheese..and were not excited..but then we got a translated in there and they explained it was a WILD ANIMAL game park..we hopped on that real quick.  A large group from Massachusetts came in to visit Jon & Cindi, about ten of them. So we've hitched a few tourist rides with them. 
The place we went is about 20 miles out of Harare, owned by a private guy. This was one of the parks they took all the delegates for the convention. It was awesomely perfect weather as well. The first thing we went and saw was cave painting from forever ago.. He said 17,000 to 20,000 which as we know.....not so much but either way they have stood the test of time. Actually it isn't paint but stain made of wee wee pee. ;) before he headed back to the Jeeps a few of us took a bit of a detour and climbed onto a huge rock mass, it gave us an amazing view for miles around.
It was only our group of 20 there today so it was really peaceful. All the animals were out and about. Towards the end we pulled over got out our snacks and fed both ourselves and the rhinos! The guide wanted us to see the new baby born back in January.. She's adorable! As we waited the other ones came right up to our Jeep so we could pet them, they especially like behind their ears rubbed.. It was a great day.
At the end of the day the group of friends asked us if we want to go on a week trip with them starting tomorrow! Up to Lake Kariba!! Its a fresh water lake..but we can't swim in it because of the hippos and crocodiles. We ran inside took 15 minutes packed our bathing costumes and now we are packing a ski boat, we leave early tomorrow.
I'm not 100% sure if we'll have net up there.. So if not you'll hear from us when we get back like next Saturday or so.
