Addo Elephant Park

This weekend Toni, Sarah and myself decided to spoil ourselves to a weekend away. We went to a beautiful hotel in Addo (with a huge bathtub in our rooms) on friday afternoon, during heavy rainfalls. For saturday we had booked a Day-Safari including Braai, and were to meet our guide at the Southgate of the Park in the morning. Even though we left early enough we couldn't get through on the gravel roads, had a jackknifed truck and too much water and mud...and it still kept on pouring...We finally got there an hour late bit it was well worth it: the weather cleared and Steve, our guide, explained everything thoroughly. We saw lions, black rhinos, lots of elephants and buffalos, it was really beautiful. The Braai was very nice and we enjoyed being outside the car for a while. In the evening we had a wonderful dinner, even with Sushi.
This morning we wanted to go for a hike in the Zuurberg Mountains, but the roads were still in bad shape so we returned back to Oceanview early and are enjoying some peace and quiet before the kids come back...Okumaya devam et
