Tshaj tawm: 11.11.2019
Thursday, 07.11.19: My alarm clock goes off at 04:00 am. Every one who knows me just a little, is aware what that means for me ;) But today it's ok, cause we are going to Addo National Park to see the big 5 (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard). And we get lucky! We see a lioness and her brother on a chilled morning stroll. I love their calm and elegant way of moving, so beautiful! We also see some buffaloes grazing and a lot (and I mean A LOT) of elephants. They come really close to the car and we can hear some of the low frequency rumbling noises they make. Such impressive creatures. And there were several babies, soooo cute! Zebras, antilopes, mongooses, jackals and a jung hyena cross our path. The rhino and the leopard stay hidden, but it would be close to a lottery win to cross paths with them. We drive through Addo from North to South and hit the Garden Route again. After a beautiful drive, we reach our destination in Wilderness and have a lovely meal at The Girls On The Square (great seafood).
