Before I left the concrete jungle of Toronto and headed off to African Lion Safari in Hamilton, I had no idea what to expect as I had never ventured out there before. To my amazement, I discovered a serene kingdom for animal lovers of all ages. While the lions may be the main attraction, there are so many other wonderful animals to enjoy. For starters, I was introduced to an incredibly smart bird, or rather an Amazon parrot called Fernando who sang ‘OH Canada’ so beautifully that I found my hand firmly planted against my chest. I was proud to be Canadian and deeply proud of this beautiful little creature that had me enthralled with its various tricks and sweet voice. What a great introduction to African Lion Safari.
Reluctant to leave Parrot Paradise, I quickly got over my crush and hopped in my car and ventured through the vast open land where I was greeted by giraffe, zebra, rhinoceros and oryx. While some kept their distance, others were keen to introduce themselves. At one stage, I was able to experience an up close encounter with a gentle giraffe who was curious to see if there was any fresh foliage in my vehicle. Ironically, a couple of hours earlier, I had consumed two shots of wheatgrass juice. I’m trying to change my eating habits, opting for the au naturel route.
