South Africa Trip - Day 6: Safari in the elephant park (6/9/10)


Had breakfast in the room before heading out for our safari; we took our car and drove around the park for hours. In our time in the park, we came across many elephants and kudu, some buffalo, a mongoose, some foxes, and some coyote type animals. 

Lions around. Does one dare get out of the car??? 

They werent lying. There were definitely elephants in the elephant park. Huge creatures. Dont understand people who can shoot these things for fun. 

Who do Kudu? Love the twisty horns of the Kudu. Loved them so much I had a Kudu steak later in the night. 
After we got our fill of the safari, we head into town to get some internet access and some cash from the ATM. When I say we went into town, I mean we traveled out of the park, and went to the nearest sign of civilization with an ATM which was a hole in the wall restaurant/house thing where we were the only visitors. Some of us got on the single computer to write some emails, others got money; I played with some dogs and had a beer cause why not? Once we were done with our errands, we returned to the park, bought some wine and beer for the night and retreated to the room to play some cards and have a great night. Normal hilarity ensued before we eventually headed to bed.


As everyone was getting money from the ATM and what not, I decided to play with the dogs on the couch. When we got there they were laying by the fire, then they decided to come over and play so I got to enjoy their company while I sipped on my beer. 

Our cabin in the elephant park. Nice accommodations the whole trip.
