Go on a safari

Theres something about being in natural habitats that bring you alive. I was in South Africa 5 years ago and visited Sun City. When we was leaving my partner suggested we go in to the Pelansburg Game Park. We drove around watching the wildlife and counting the BIG 5. We stopped on a path to watch a herd of elephants head to the waterhole on our left and from the right came a huge white Rhino through the growth taking out trees with his tusk. Not only was I petrified I was in awe that such a creature could be so close to us. As he walked towards the car I urged for us to move but my partner said he would charge if we startled him so I told the kids to be really quiet and he just meandered around the back of the car, he took no notice of us whatsoever and headed to the waterhole down the path. It was so amazing. We didn’t see any cats so we went to the Lion Park near Jo’burg and drove into large pens with lions, and also there was some small pens you could walk into with cubs in and we all held them, it couldn’t have been better. Never forgotten that trip and would love to go back to Africa and do a proper safari.
