Mason’s Travels on Safari


It had always been our dream to travel to southern Africa, and we’d make a lot of plans for our trip. I wanted
to take a lot of wildlife photographs, so my friend has recommended that I bring two cameras. When I got to
Namibia, I had panicked. One camera had been missing. Luckily, I was finding it later.
The next day, we had started out on our safari with a tour. By the end of our tour, we saw some amazing
things. One time, when we stopped to take pictures, we were only a few feet away from a cheetah. Amazing!
We had never bothered the animals at night. However, we heard their various calls and other noises outside
our tent every night. At first, I had been afraid of the sounds, but not by the end of the trip. It was really the
most incredible trip I’ve ever been taking.
