Great Adventure Drive Thru Safari Part II

If you missed Part I of the drive thru safari, you can view the pictures and read about it here.
 The second half of the drive thru safari was a tad more exciting.
If you are wondering what all the excitement was about, well let me tell you.
There are signs that say you should keep your windows closed while driving thru...
that doesn't work if you are taking pictures of these darling animals.
Anyway, I thought that was merely a "suggestion".
A slight crack, a quick picture...well let me tell you they are serious about those rules.
The "not so nice" man that pulled up to the car window said I would be escorted out if I did it again.
oh boy, clearly, that is not a suggestion.
We had fun anyway, but I did not get any more pictures...

here's what I have to share...


These are small, young Giraffe 


Ankole Cattle



Brown Bears



Kangaroos


- the moral of the story, don't open your car window at the great adventure safari -

I didn’t know you were such a rebel, Debbie. Lol. The brown bears fascinate me. I wouldn’t want to meet one of those on a trail. We don’t even have black bears here.

Had quit a experience driving through a wild life center many years ago and it didn't evolve any windows but rather a rhinoceros that took a liking to our tire well. They are wild animals and there is no telling what they might do but beautiful to see.

Too close for me! Must've been really hot: they're mostly lying down. Linda in Kansas

You better behave Debbie!

You did get some great shots, Debbie! Guess the park worries about liabilities...

Oh that had to get your attention when he said to close the window but your pictures are beautiful. I love looking at giraffes spots and trying to make out the shapes. That baby giraffe is so cute.

You did have more animals to see then I think we did at the drive thru one we went to. We did not have bears, there were cattle but I think it was just Texas long horns. Wow they are serious about it aren't they. It is amazing how good pictures can be through the window, try it next time :)

You still got quite a few additional photos. The kangaroos look bored! :-) Love the bears! Are the animals and vehicles close enough that it's an issue? In a pinch, you can still get pics through glass. Keep the lens perpendicular or straight toward the window and as close to the glass as possible (clean windows help). Sometimes the focus will be a bit soft, but still usable.
