Yankari National Park

Yankari National Park is about a 4-hour drive from Jos, near a town called Bauchi. I went there for an overnight with the Cunninghams, another missionary family in Niger. During our time we went on two "safaris" looking for wild animals, and swam in the beautiful Wikki Warm Springs. It was a worthwhile trip and we were able to see some cool stuff.

The one night we were there a huge rainstorm came and it was pouring down for at least an hour! There was no way I could pass up this opportunity so I sprinted down to the spring (seriously, it's a natural spring with warm, clear water) and jumped right in! It was such a great experience to be in this warm water, lying on my back under the water and looking up towards the sky, with the rain drops splashing on the surface and lightning in the background!

An incredible view!

Baby with Momma in the mud...

Yeah, we saw heaps of elephants.

Waterbuck too...
