Vultures, vultures, vultures! That pretty much sums up day 5's birds with a couple of "normal birds thrown in for good measure.

1. Coming right at us

There were also lots of Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Leopard and Hyenas to round out the day! Another great day on Safari!

Thank you! Vultures have incredible character, so it's not all bad if your day is full of seeing them... unless they are circling over you ;)
