On Friday we went into "the bush" with some friends in a landrover. (I
had thought it weird that expats here use the word "bush" much more
than we would in the states... but I think its because there are some
Hausa/French words that well correlate with the English "the bush.)
Anyway, our goal: giraffes. East (not West) Africa is the place to go
for safaris but there is apparently one last herd of giraffes in the
wild near the capital. So off we tromped to track it down. After a
couple hours of driving (half off road) we found them. 5 very graceful
fellas chomping away contendedly as we got close.
Ir as you might imagine not only wore her giraffe shirt but has since
been talking to us about the experience. An authentic African
experience I guess.

Just some “food for thought” when it comes to making the most of where you are.
