I keep resetting the date and time on my camera and it keeps going back to some weird date but it was on 12/26/08! keep in mind also that at 2:30 is the best time for the ride.......fresh food put out for all the animals and even had a white rhino in the path of our truck and a giraffe butt sticking out inches from us! so fun!!

The bird in your photo isn't a swan. Judging from the legs, it looks more like a crane or stork.​

yah....thinking stork.....didn't get a shot of those other birds. Guess I'll have to go back!!

We weren't able to get on the safari ride

the wait as over two hours long. Did see one of the white rhinos though,

.

THis crane/stork was pretty interesting looking too:
