We had a short drive today as we had a 1 PM reservation to
be picked up by Scotia Preserve Safari for a guided safari in open air jeeps. It was hot but fantastic. The guides found
animals for us to take pictures and they explained a lot about each one we
found. We had scones and juice in a
lapa{open sided hut} in midafternoon and that night we had venison dinner in a
torch lit lapa which we all agreed must be right off the set of Survivor.
Today we had the entire day open to self-drive
thru the Addo Elephant Nat Park. This
park has 39 different species available for us to find. We saw many types of antelope, lions,
elephants, Zebra, Impala, Hartebeests, Warthogs, Water buffalo, Eland, Kudu,
Secretary bird and the Leopard tortoise.
It was a wonderful experience where we could go as slow as we wanted on many different
roads and loops. We sat with about 40 elephants
around us for almost an hour. The park
even had a gated fenced off picnic area with tables and grills which we drove
into. We were safe from all but the
monkeys and a bird that wanted my lunch.
One of our friends had
his sandwich swiped off the table by a monkey
