Going to Africa

my girlfriend, mo, and i are going to africa friday for a short one week safari. still confused why it's called a safari when you dont actually hunt anything. we're going to a couple of camps in kenya. i have no expectations and all i've really heard so far is to take malaria pills and really good bug spray. anyway, i'll report back with a ton of pix i'm sure (assuming a) i come back and b) i can operate the camera and charge the batterries).
