The Swahili word safari means journey, and this geocache is definitely no park-and-grab. The heavy brush not only accounts for the high terrain rating and attendant fun, it discourages muggles and protects the resident wildlife. Please do not hack paths or cut away the numerous thorns you’ll have to avoid to find this cache. Despite the absence of any real human trails, you really can get to all the locations without shredding yourself; just choose your way carefully and avoid the temptation to attempt a direct route, especially from the third animal to the final! Dress for thorns and be sure to carry water.
You’ll find the first animal at the posted coordinates. Where you go from there depends on the animals you find, according to the following instructions. (Only the last three digits of the latitude and longitude are given, as the other digits all match the posted coordinates.)
