Day 37 - Addo Elephant Park

Our run through the 'Addo Main Camp' early this morning,(+-6km) which is expansive, including a 1.78km 'plastic-compressed wooden' path trail, donated by the Honoury Rangers and sponsored by 'Discovery' was most enjoyable. Through forests of 'Spekboom' and other 'Indigenous Scrub'.

The Oomie I passed on the road... "Jirre seun, maar jou vroutjie is los voor!"
Me "Nee Oom dis my dogter"
Die Oomie " Jislaik maar jy het dan vroeg in jou lewe begin, hê?"
Me "Ja Oom, so om en by 12 jaar oud"....
Oom... Silenced!!!👊🏻

Unlike the Coastal Caravan Parks, where there is quiet until after 07:00, back here in the Game Park, the Uitenhage and Dispatch 'FORD' bakkies start cranking at 05:00 to be out by. 06:00! What for, I'm not quite sure?

ADD0 ELEPHANT PARK, un-appropriately named by some 'Ponytailed Marketing Guru' who has never even been here, just to lure ill informed Eatern Cape 'mense' that there are the 'Big 5', present on their doorstep! BS!!!

Then we 'Googled' the name 'Spekboom'? Contrary to my previous post, Black Rhino, Elephant and Kudu all thrive on Spekboom even refreshing for humans ... huh? Doesn't make sense!

We have seen more elephant at a puddle of water in 'The Kruger' than the entire 36 hours in this, the Addo Elephant Park. To add insult to injury, they also continuously talk-up, "Beware of the Lion. Alight only at your own Risk" huh?
5 Elephant yesterday, not one today,... Lion and Rhino most unlikely, even though there are thousands of Morgan of Spekboom !!!🦁🦏

Love, Peace an Light
