Ben Stewart - Africa

A couple of years ago i went to africa. While we were there we went to a safari in Kenya just off of the peak of Mt Kilimanjaro. It was very amazing. If i had to recount the most sacred moment in my life i think that it may have happened while i was in kenya. We had nice rooms to stay in on the safari. The rooms were right next to an electric fence that on the other side had elephants and lions and wildebeasts and gazelle, all types of animals. I decided on the last night that i would sleep outside rather than in the room. So i pulled my sheets and pillow outside and slept right outside with only a fence and 100 feet in between me and lions and wildabeasts. It was an amazing feeling. It got kind of cold and in the middle of the night i woke up from it. I opened my eyes and when i opened my eyes i saw something that i cannot even begin to explain. Billions of stars bright as day were in the sky above me. I had never seen stars like this ever in my life. I was awestruck and i just lay there staring at them for a very long time. I felt so close to nature and god.
