The last few days!

Wow, what an amazing trip! We were not able to update the blog since Hermanus but I’ll try to give you a quick recap of what we did in the last few days!!
After Hermanus we travelled back down to Cape Town via the Cape of Good Hope national park. We passes a few baboons on the way. The views were breath taking! We also visited a penguin sanctuary and went on a little boat trip to ‘seal island’ (Duiker Island)! After staying the night in Cape Town, we travelled up to see Langa – a township on the outskirts of Cape Town. It was really interesting to see how they managed to live in these little ‘shacks’ and to learn about how they ended up there. We stayed here for lunch at ‘Sheila’s house’. The food was superb!

After lunch we travelled to the Aquila game reserve and went straight out to our first safari! This was very exciting; we saw rhinos, hippos, giraffes, buffalo, ostrich and springbok (and lions!!). Oh and a couple of elephants happily strolled by! The resort was luxurious and we all enjoyed the novelty of our outdoor showers!

Before we made our way to the airport, we stopped off at the V & A Waterfront for a couple of hours to do some shopping and have some lunch.
Thank you all for making this trip so amazing! x
