After spending half of the week in
Johannesburg, we made the long journey (an 8 hour-long bus ride) to The Kruger
National Park! This was my first time
ever being on a safari and it was absolutely amazing. I was struck with amazement at how beautiful
all of the animals were in their natural environment. They were all so calm, and at some points
during our drive, when everybody in the truck was silent, you could hear how
the whole park and all of the animals were so relaxed and quiet as well.
The things we saw were unbelievable-
a huge herd of elephants of all sizes and ages passed us by, we saw some
lionesses snuggling together in the bush, a herd of hundreds of buffalo crossed
the road while two lions laid in waiting to pounce nearby, and so many other
beautiful animals and moments that we were lucky enough to witness. I really could have stayed for another month
just quietly observing all of the animals and plants at The Kruger.
Now, we are back in Cape Town for
the last few weeks of the program. I
can’t believe how quickly the time has passed by- it seems like just yesterday
that I met everybody at the airport. I
am feeling very lucky to be spending a few weeks longer after the program ends
with my family in Cape Town, because I definitely would not be ready to head
back to the states quite yet! For now, I
am just enjoying the last few weeks of the program and trying to soak up as
much African sunshine as possible.
