TRAVEL FAB: The Obama Family Goes On Safari!

We told you previously that the Obama family would be spending their weekend on a safari while in Botswana, and we have the pics of the First Fam wrapping up their South African journey inside....

First Lady Michelle Obama, Sasha, Malia, and their extended fam made a goodwill trip through South Africa and Botswana last week and capped it off with an open-air safari this weekend.

 

 

Looks like the family spotted something wild and fascinating.

 

During the trip, Mrs. O made a stop with Sasha at Borakanelo, a restaurant in the village of Mochudi, Botswana.  The fam was back home in the U.S.A. Sunday night.

Mrs. Obama told reporters accompanying her that she was a "direct representative" of her husband during stops in South Africa and neighboring Botswana.

Her agenda included meeting with Nelson Mandela and retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu, dining with Oprah Winfrey, visiting key places of anti-apartheid era, urging young people to succeed and gauging efforts to fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic gripping sub-Saharan Africa. At the trip's end, she and her family went on this safari in a big-game reserve. 

Fab trip indeed.
