Escape the confines of your home and get out and explore. Safari West is that perfect find.
Watusi Cattle otherwise known as Ankole Cattle, or the “Cattle of the Kings”. They are breed for those spectacular horns. The horn average is 8 feet across – record 13 feet. Talk about a huge rack!!!!!
The cattle are treated as sacred to the significance they play in the families of the cattle keepers because they believe the cattle will care for their families. They are also used to determine status in society.
Giraffe’s have dark purple tongues (no not from drinking too much of this fantastic Sonoma wine), and it is 16-20 inches long.
The color is to protect it from the sun while it is eating. They love to stick it out at us while on tour.
Aoudad – one of my favorites with the magnificent hair under its chin & behind the legs. This is one of the handsome males up at Safari West. Ask one of your guides what all that hair is for and wait till you hear the answer – ewww!
