Day 25

Yesterday (Sunday) we visited Addo Elephant Park, about an hour and a half away from Grahamstown. On our drive around the massive reserve we spotted everything from tiny dung beetles to a herd of elephants. Staking out a spot by a watering hole proved to be the ideal viewing location. After a few warthogs came by, we eventually had a herd of about 10 elephants (including two very young ones), pass right around our van and head to the water for a drink not even 200 ft from us!

Unfortunately I do not have any pictures to post, but I am looking forward to seeing everyone when I arrive home in less than a week!

Day 11

On Saturday we ventured into Port Elizabeth to visit the Seaview Game and Lion Park, where we had the opportunity to drive through the park in our car. We saw zebras, giraffes, bushbok, wildebeests and lions. The most exciting part was when we had the opportunity to meet two young lions (about 5 months old) face to face!
