Going on a Safari without leaving town

Lauren’s big wish came true this summer–she’s working for the San Diego Zoo.
One of the perks of the job–besides seeing cool animals every single day!– is receiving discounts on some of the best behind-the-scenes experiences the zoo has to offer. This past week, we took a safari ride to the African plains and got a chance to feed the giraffes–all without leaving the country.

Baby rhinos…who can resist these little guys?
