Woke up early and headed to the Addo Elephant Park. We saw over 150 elephants at one watering hole! It was the most our guide had ever seen in the park at once. We did have a close encounter with a monster elephant weaving through cars, and another that wouldn't take her eyes off of our bus. The dominant female in one of the families died recently, so we saw some good battles to be the next top elephant.
Our guide made us an awesome lunch :). They love the curry here.
In the afternoon we headed to the Scotia Game Reserve. It felt like I was in Jurassic Park with the jeeps and electronic fence! I saw zebra, kudu, bushbuck, wildabeast, giraffe, turtles, hippos, crocodile, lion, rhinos, and a few other deer-like animals. I got out of the jeep to get a closer look at the rhinos, but had to run behind a bush when they started walking too close to our group!
I haven't seen as many monkeys as I expected, but have seen a few in random places like the side of the road.
Wow! What an exciting place to be. That was fun getting to watch the elephants! Also, cute picture of you and Luke. We miss you both!! Thanks for posting.
