They saw lions, elephants monkeys and many other wild animals. Sometimes the animals came very close to them. Once an elephant started to walk towards them, and Julie and Rick felt very scared. The guide said, "It's all right Don't move, please." He didn't seem afraid at all! After some minutes, the elephant walked away.
