On wednesday i arrived in Hazyview, a town just outside Kruger National Park. Staying in a backpackers and went on a full day Safari!!! We were picked up at 6am and got into the park at 7am. We went in a big open vehicle, like what you see on tv! So exciting! I saw giraffe, elephants, wildebeast, zebra, a pack of white rhino's, impala, kudo, a leopard (which is quite rare), monkeys, baboons, wildpigs (like Pumba from Lion King!), hippos and heaps of birds. There have been heaps of fires so alot of the park is burnt which is such a shame. I didnt get to see a lion or buffalo which i was very disappointed about but tomorrow i am going on an early morning and then sunset/night drive so hopefully will see them then!
Today i am going on a 2hour quadbiking ride through the forests and then tonight attending the Shangana evening festival. It is an traditional African performance and feast.
It is all flame-lit in the chiefs village where the history of the Shangaans is presented through dance and singing, then we have dinner in the huts! I am really looking forward to it. Should be an amazing cultural experience!I miss everyone (all my kiddies and friends) back at jane Furse but will return on Sunday. Not as much as i miss everyone in Australia!
Lots of love from Africa xoxoxoxoxox
