    Wow! The pictures look amazing! I live here in Africa. Have been living here my whole life! It an awesome place. If I get my dad to drive me, I can be in spots like that in 2 hour tops. I used to have a pet cheetah but it couldn’t have babies in captivity so we let it free. I’ve also been up close and personal with lions! Hope you had a fun time here!

      Hi Abi! If you ever get the chance to come to Costa Rica, we have a place in Guanacaste called “Africa Mía” (My Africa) which is a park that looks very much like an African sabana. They have lions, hippos, zebras, the whole lot! Might be similar to Africa (not quite but close!). Greetings from Costa Rica!

    I live in northern california, and sometimes you can just go on these beautiful hikes where you see these wonderful animals. Please come and see us in northern california. I usually go to LA (hollywood land!) to see my grandparents and I always feel so thrilled! Its my ultimate dream to become an actress! My parents say I should major in math, since thats one thing Im verrry strong in, but somehow its just not my thing. What do you say it took to make in into the world of acting? Would you say there is one quality that a person should have to get ahead in the field? Thank you! I know you probably don’t have time for fans, and I know you probably hear stuff like this all the time, but, acting is really something I love. I think you are a great actress.

    from viewing these photos only one photographer came to mind:
    Nick Brandt, hopefully you arent familiar with his work already and will be soon falling at his feet like myself.
    I feel you’d appreciate his work as I do
    heres a link to one of his marvel worthy portfolios…

    July 31, 2010 | 4:49 am

    Your pictures are seriously so cool and I LOVE animals so I think it would be sick to see those animals in their natural habitat. Howevverr, I went to the zoo a few weeks ago and saw the coolest thing ever.

    http://es.tinypic.com/r/9abs6u/3

    It’s a mother monkey breastfeeding the baby monkey. My aunt tried to get as good of a picture as possible, but it was kind of hard since the zoo insisted on having chain link fence around all the exhibits.

    We took more pictures from different angles where you can see the baby wrapping its arms around the mother, but I figured I probably shouldn’t spam this whole thing.

    Anywayy, your pictures are really sick. Thanks for posting them :)

    July 30, 2010 | 11:24 pm

    Wow!! Gorgeous pictures. I hope to someday to be able to go to Africa myself & see these beautiful animals up close & personal. (Not in any type of zoo or other form of prison.)

    Were were you?
    Botswana? Kenya? Tanzania? Zimbawe? I wish you would have show something else of Africa than wild animals and reservation.. It is always sad that this or extreme poverty are the only way people see Africa and I thought you could portray it better.. but I was wrong :) Still they are beautiful photograph.

    bonjour, je me permets de vous écrire en français (donc française vivant dans le sud plus exactement dans la région du var…une superbe région dans les vignes hihi vive le rosé ;) )
    j’ai adoré vos pensées…votre âme d’artiste un peu torturé qui a du mal à se trouver (si je puis me permettre) ça m’a touché car moi, mon rêve c’est l’écriture, un cahier avec des mots laissés sur des pages blanches mais j’ai beaucoup de mal…on me dit de me lancer mais c’est plus facile à dire qu’à faire…je me dirige toujours vers mes pensées alors que je préfèrerais écrire un roman, une fiction mais non mes pensées prennent le dessus et je m’arrête d’écrire…pfft un vrai dilemme j’ai 35 ans et vécu (bien et mauvais) beaucoup de choses pour mon âge. mais l’important c’est d’être là toujours debout. heu..je commence à écrire un roman hihi j’ai adoré vos photos, les marais (la bouillie verte) vision qu’on ne trouve pas par chez nous. je me suis toujours sentie un esprit de grande voyageuse mais la vie en à décider autrement mais je suis contente, j’arrive à voyager dans mes pensées, et vos photos sont fantastiques même si vous êtes critique avec vos captures, elles ne reflètent hélas jamais la beauté de ce que nous voyons ou ressentons…;)
    bien à vous et continuez à nous faire rêver avec votre belle âme et vos pensées
    MERCI ;) )

    I love Rosalie Hale in the movie, you looks so good blonde. You’re my thrid favourite actress of the movie after Kristen and Rob. I like the animals to, one of my dreams is go to Africa, I think it’s a nice place.
    I have a website in spanish (sorry but it’s my language) http://www.mariposadesangre.jimdo.com, would be an honor that you could tell something.

    July 27, 2010 | 1:35 pm

    Hello Nikki! Probably you are not going to read this comment but I will do it itself. So I’m Carolina and I’m from Portugal. Any time you come to Portugal? If not you should come visit because it may be small but it is a very beautiful country.

    I’m a big fan of the entire cast of the twilight saga and I love you. If I saw you live probably died or something. I know it’s asking a lot but if you can and if you have time visit my blog: http://www.carolina-stewart-pattinson.blogspot.com/ is in Portuguese. But if you read this now is very important to me.

    I’d say many more things but would not have enough time to do so. You should hear it constantly but with much feeling: I love you!
    And my great dream is to see the whole cast live! PLEs COME TO PORTUGAL! This country has plenty of fans and Twilight cast!

    With Love, Carolina.

    Dear Nikki,
    Love the pictures, they kind of make me want to go to Africa. By the way, you’re brilliant as Rosalie in The Twilight Saga (especially Eclipse). I didn’t really like Rosalie before, but then I read Eclipse, and I kind of saw where she was coming from. After I saw Eclipse (I went to the midnight showing!!) I had a different perspective on her.

    Hi Nikki.

    Thanks for the photos!

    Since I’ve started blogging I’ve really enjoyed discovering the online diaries of others. I was delighted to see your blog mentioned on Facebook a coupla days ago, so I had to come investigate.

    Your writing is very genuine, and that’s probably a significant reason for all of your faithful followers. I hope you enjoy doing it.

    My style is usually much more sarcastic, and that’s probably a significant reason why I do NOT have as many. ;)

    Thank you again. If you get a chance I’d love to hear your thoughts on a few of my blog entries.

    Blog Love from Indianapolis

    Hello Nikki
    Your photos of Africa are stunning. I am from South
    Africa and I am still awestruck by my gorgeous
    Home!! You would love our west coast during flower
    Season. It is like a carpet of wild flowers from here
    To eternity!! So one day when you get the opportunity
    Make a mission out here for that and bring your camera!!!

    The one thing that stands out to me abt the US that seems
    To be downplayed by the media, in my humble opinion, is the
    Beautiful countryside. I expected wall to wall skyscrapers but I
    Remember landing in DC and just seeing trees. Its also a very
    Beautiful part of the world. I likle your tree pics!

    Take care and keep taking pics!!!

    Hey Nicole *-*

    You pics are amazing *—-* This nature is soooo lovely. I love Africa too (and Holanda. Holanda is my city of dreams ♥).

    Well, I saved your photos and edited. Here is the link

    Ah, in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) also has lots of nature that you would love to know. Come to know and love to have you here.

    I love you (so so so so so much)♥

    July 26, 2010 | 6:33 pm

    Nikki, you are so lucky to have travelled to Africa!! Your pix are beautiful! My husband and I have volunteered at our local wildlife rehabilitation center (www.animalrescue.org go to wildlife dropdown) for over 9 years. I am a nurse but I love caring for Pennsylvania’s injured and orphaned wildlife! Animals are so innocent and beautiful. Hope you post more pictures and I hope someday to travel there.
    And, BTW you are great in the Twilight series….loved your role in Eclipse!!

    July 26, 2010 | 4:09 pm

    Wow, Nikki, you are as beautiful on the inside as you are outside. Obviously I don’t know you personally, but from what I’ve read on your blog, you are truly an intellectual. You said that you can’t always grasp what you’re feeling and put it onto paper, but isn’t that the eternal frustration of an artist? I can relate to that like you wouldn’t believe. Another thing that really impressed me is that you know beauty when you see it, and you take that beauty, absorb it, and reflect on it. Memories from your past (as opposed to the future? lol) are not wasted but grabbed and held on to tightly.

    I’m really looking forward to hearing what you have to say
