hakuna matata
• 13 comments •
One night, while eating dinner at a restaurant in Kruger National Park, we overheard one of the waiters say 'hakuna matata' to an elderly couple dining at the table next to us. They looked perplexed and as the waiter began to explain what it meant, we desperately wanted to interrupt and sing 'it means no worries for the rest of your days!'. They were old, but seriously, who doesn't know that it's the problem-free philosophy?
Every single day that we were on safari, we couldn't get through without making several needless references to The Lion King. Here are some photos that we took of warthogs, hyenas, and other animals that may or may not have been featured in the movie:

Is that anything like "don't worry, be happy"?
ReplyDeleteYour closeup captures are great. Wish I'd had a better zoom when there.
You're inspiring me to get more posts done about my adventure in ZA. Yet I love seeing it through your eyes to evoke the recent memories.

hyenas always look so evil to me! Probably because they were the "bad guys" in that movie!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! That very first photograph is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteI totally relate to this--we just went on safari in Tanzania and found ourselves using The Lion King as some sort of official reference the entire time!
