Our trip is coming to an end. In about 3 hours we will be boarding the plane back to Johannesburge with a connecting flight to America. We should be arriving in Memphis sometime mid-morning on Sunday.
Yesterday we had an all-day safari at the Addo Elephant Park and Schotia Game Reserve. It was a great way to end the trip, to say the least. We all got some amazing pictures but they will not to do justice to the feeling of being feet away from a lion, hippo, rhino, elephant or giraffe. Other than the animals, we spent a few minutes looking at the stars. I can't describe how awesome the night sky looks in South Africa when away from the city lights. The Milky Way is very distinct and there just seems to be more stars here.
This morning, a few of us went down to the beach to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful and a wonderful way to close out our time here. Overall, our trip to South Africa has been incredible. I can't wait to tell everyone about the trip and share all of my pictures.
Later!
