Out of Africa


Sophie is still fascinated by Tigers so a few weeks ago we took her and Chase to the ZOO. This was our first visit to Out of Africa and probably our last. They had a lot of animals and a couple of fun attractions but it is really far and a bit pricey.

In this picture we were on a Safari ride and Chase spotted the Zebra that was within arms reach. If you look close you will see he is terrified.



"Tiger Splash" is one of the shows at the Zoo. The Trainer's threw basketballs and soccer balls in the air over the pool to try and get the Tigers to jump in after them. If a Tiger jumped in after the ball the audience would yell and clap and Chase joined right in. Sophie watched the show from the front row and got up close and personal with the Tiger (with a fence in between of course.)





We also fed carrots to the Giraffe while on the Safari ride. Sophie's carrot is the one closest to the bottom of screen. Chase did not feed the Giraffe as he was scared of him too.

YAY an update! :) I've been to out of africa, too, but it's been a few years. It's usually hot, but neat animals. I love zebras. Did they still have the white tiger? When I went, they had one. That's cool you could feed the giraffes. I like the last picture of Sophie & Chase walking together. They're so cute!
