I went on a safari in Kenya last month. It was amazing! I saw lots of animals, but my favorite animals were the elephants.
Elephants live in groups called herds, usually with about ten members. The leader is typically an older female elephant known as the matriarch. They eat grass, leaves, and fruit for about 16 hours daily and drink about 35 liters of water each day. They cool down by taking baths in rivers when it's hot. While they can swim, elephants cannot jump. They walk long distances and run at speeds up to 40 km/h, slower than a lion.
These intelligent animals have strong memories and can learn new things quickly. They are social creatures that demonstrate love and affection by touching with their trunks.
Unfortunately, elephants are endangered due to poaching for their ivory tusks. Ivory is valuable for making jewelry and other items. Protecting elephants is crucial to prevent their extinction.

I am sitting in a jeep, and I am very excited. There is a lion right next to me! It is not moving, but it is looking at me. The driver is telling me to be quiet. The lion looks very strong and dangerous, and I am a little bit scared.
Welcome to the African safari!
My name is Tendai, and I am your guide. We are in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. This park is one of the biggest in Africa, and it is home to many different animals - elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. There are also over 400 species of birds here.
We are going on a game drive this afternoon. A game drive is a trip in a car or a truck to look at wild animals. Before we go, there are some important things you need to know.
Firstly, you must stay in the vehicle all the time. You cannot get out of the car, even if you see a beautiful butterfly or a small bird. Some of the animals here are very dangerous, so it is better to watch them from the car.
Secondly, you must be quiet. If you talk loudly or shout, you will scare the animals away. However, you can take photos and videos of the animals. Just remember to turn off the flash on your camera.
Finally, you must not feed the animals. They have enough food in the park. Also, some of the food we eat is not good for them. For example, chocolate is poisonous for elephants.
OK, let's go! Look at those elephants over there. There is a baby elephant with its mother. Baby elephants are very cute, but they are also very curious. They like to play, and sometimes they come too close to the cars. If you see a baby elephant, please do not touch it.
Now we are going to see some lions. There is a group of lions in the grass over there. They are sleeping, but don't worry - they will wake up later and go hunting. Lions usually hunt at night. They can run very fast, and they are very good at catching their food.
I hope you enjoy your safari
