My first day in Africa







After hours of flying from London, England I am finally on vacation in Africa. Cape Town is so nice and cozy, though they should not have called it a town because now it is a city. The people here are so friendly and welcoming my bus ride was very different then a normal bus ride in Canada. The bus was open and colourful. Africa is so open when we were driving to the resort I saw so many elephants it was amazing. I saw little huts where they live every day, it is very humbling. The resort is so beautiful and relaxing surrounded by nature. My bedroom suite is open air and I can see into the wilderness, even elephants. After I got settled I went for dinner then went to bed. The next morning I went for breakfast then on the Kruger safari tour - it was so fun. It was so cool how close we got to the animals and I never imagined that I could do that. I talked to some tourists and they told me that I should go check out the Botanical Gardens. I have always loved any botanical gardens I have seen. The Karoo Desert Botanical Garden was so pretty, the birds are so colourful and all down the 1 km trail there is information about all of the plants, flowers and animals it was very interesting. I went on an elephant ride what a rush! The elephants are trained very well and it was weird to think that they were once wild elephants. I’m having such a fantastic time I can’t believe there are only a few days left. I never want to leave Africa.
