Addo Elephant Park

Spent a night in Addo Elephant Park and had a close encounter with an elephant. He came right past the front of our safari vehicle thing and I didn't get any photos of him coming up close because I was frozen with utter delight and excitement.



Half way through the safari drive we stood around for a while to see if any of us could get trampled or eaten. None of us did. 
This is an ostrich. He was cool.



The park was a good intro to our animal adventures and we were pretty excited by it all. Our drive out the next morning at sunrise produced buffalo and zebra and loads of buck, warthog friends, a caracal, mongoose and best of all heaps of MEERKATS, yes indeed. 

Hopefully more photos to be added soon..

Had a fabulous day at Tsitsikamma, went for a long hot exhausting hike and it was most excellent. (Above photo is view from the top)

Melissa made a new friend on a township tour in knysna

Melissa made a new friend on our tour. The township was a lot better off than the ones in the big cities, not great but not nearly as bad as the shacks in capetown.
