Port Elizabeth, South Africa

We flew into Port Elizabeth from Johannesburg in the afternoon and arrived at our hotel in time for an early dinner. Port Elizabeth is a relatively large seaside city. The next day we went to a shopping centre to do some clothes shopping. There is great shopping here and everything is very cheap. Mum and I both took home a few items each. Next, we drove out to our accomodation in the country located near Adda Elephant park. We were staying in a cabin on a river, inside an orange farm. It was very pretty. The next day we woke up early to go to the elephant park. Even though it’s advertised as being a park for elephants, it’s actually possible to see the Big 5 there. Unfortunately we didn’t see too many animals but we did see a large, injured hyena walking alongside our car. Apart from that, we saw a few elephants, zebras, impala and dung beetles (Alex’s favourite). Definitely wasn’t as lucky as Kruger, although we only spent a few hours there.Read more
