The Elephant Safari



Yesterday, Derrick and I took a 1.5-hour elephant safari in Chitwan National Park. While the ride started out with rain, it was a great time! We got to see a rhino in the wild very close to our elephant, as well as a peacock and some Nepali deer. Unfortunately, some Asian tourists on other elephants in our safari may have been too loud to spot much more. However, the safari backdrop was much like you'd imagine if you ever played Amazon Trail as a kid (except here, it's Nepal). We crossed through a stream on the elephant and through a bunch of muddy forest floor (where their wide gait made the ride a little bumpy).
