A Trip to Africa

Wow! I’m at the African airport, in Kara Togo. I’ve waited YEARS for this. Right now I’m wondering what the wilds gonna be like… Oh, there’s the tour car I better get going!

Now I’m off.  I’m in a tour with the tour-guide. First we’re going to see the zebras which are down by the lake. I’m wondering if there is a crocodile in the lake and if there is will it jump up and eat the entire zebra herd. But my instinct says it will be a beautiful sight.

The tour car stopped at a small hill near the lake. “Okay, now you can use these binoculars and zoom in towards the zebras.” the tour-guide explained. Oh, by the way his name is Jimbubu. He passed me the binoculars. They were pretty big. “They’re beautiful!” I excitedly said. “I know they are” Jimbubu said. “What do we do tomorrow?” I asked. “Giraffe riding” Jimbubu Replied. “Whoa” I whispered.
 “Now, to your own mud hut to stay in.” Jimbubu said.
“What on Africa is a mud hut?”
“It is a small cosy hut made out of straw and mud.”
“Will the mud fall on me?”
“Don’t worry Jade, It might be a bit smelly, but it won’t fall on you.”
“SMELLY, by what?”
“The poo_”
“Poo, I thought it was mud!”
“It is mud mixed in with poo and grass and we put it around the twigs until it dries. That’s what a mud hut is.”
“Oh.” I sighed. Later on, we finally got to the mud hut.
 “Here are the keys” Jimbubu said.”Thanks” I said, taking the keys.
“What time will you come pick me up tomorrow?” I asked Eleven tomorrow morning.
Jimbubu replied. “Cool, ok seeya!” I yawned. “Bye Jade. Enjoy your mud hut.”
“I will.”I set my alarm to 9:30 AM. I had a shower, got dressed, ate and brushed my hair.r />  After all that was done, the time was 10:52 AM. “Now I can sit and relax for a bit.” I yawned.“Jaaaaaaaaaade. Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade??”“Wha_what? Oh sorry I think I snoozed off.”

“Yes, you did.”Jimbubu said. “What’s the time?” I asked. “11:01”Jimbubu replied “Oh sorry.” I said sadly. “It’s ok. We can go now.” “Ok” So we got in the car and went to find the Kara Togo zoo.

After a while of bumpy driving the car stopped. “We’re here” Jimbubu said.

 “Cool!” I replied.

Finally, we were at the Giraffe riding tours. “Wow” I whispered. “I’m actually going giraffe riding!”

“Niji auf id cosocur.” The giraffe riding instructor said.

“What?” I asked confused.

“Hundo belos figu jija ibi nokaka.” Jimbubu said.

“Sorry.” he sighed. “He said welcome to the giraffe riding tours. I asked if he could speak English for us.” Jimbubu explained.“Thanks” I said.

The instructor took us to our giraffe and taught us everything we needed to know.

“Ok, you can go now. Remember not to go through the gates!” “Okay, bye!” I replied.

This giraffe was AWSOME! It was a girl. We walked around the waterfall but suddenly someone opened the gates and it didn’t take the path. The giraffe that I was riding ran straight through! “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I screamed.

The giraffe ran as fast as it could around a corner far away from the zoo. I swung off the giraffe’s back. “WHOA!” Crash. I tried to call her. “HERE JENNI!” I yelled. But the giraffe was out of sight. I was weak and I saw an orange and black figure coming towards me. Then, I fell asleep.

I woke up in a warm cosy place with a warm blanket on the side of me. Well, at least I thought it was a blanket. I turned to look at my blanket. It was a tiger. “Hhh” I gasped. I heard a weird noise. It was sort of like a purr. Yes, it was. After a few seconds trying to find out what the noise was, the tiger turned around and faced me then the noise became louder. It was a tiger purr. The tiger loved me.

After 2 hours, the tiger was the friendliest thing I’ve ever known. It gave me lick-kisses, big cuddles and loved to play games. I looked around the tiger’s ears. It had a name tag thing on it. I looked at it properly. It read 815 Kara Togo Zoo. “You’re from that zoo aren’t you? But why did you rescue me? Why didn’t you come back?” RAWW. “I wish I could understand tiger language.” Then we heard a noise. Two men came in with spears in their hands. It was Jimbubu and the instructor. “Run Jade!” Jimbubu yelled. “NO WAIT!” I screamed, “He won’t hurt you!” Jimbubu and the instructor stopped. “What?” they asked “I’ve been here for two hours he hasn’t hurt me” “Oh, well we better leave.” Jimbubu sighed. “I will go now if that’s ok.” The giraffe instructor said. “Bye.” “Wait, I have to say bye to the tiger.” I said sadly. I went over to the scared tiger and kissed him on the head and said good bye. “Raww. Whine.” He said.

I told Jimbubu what had happened in the car on the way back to the airport. It was a long trip back.

So I said goodbye to Jimbubu and got my bags packed. I had enjoyed a heart wrenching and exiting trip on Africa. Now it would be a long trip back.
