South African trip!

Im back home again after a amazing tour trough South Africa with a wonderful group. We started out in Cape Town, quite windy, but we managed to go up Table Mountain, visited Cape Point, did a tour to the townships, and spent a day in the winelands. After that we moved north and visited the Blyde River Canyon , Potholes, Moholoholo Animla Rehab Center and spent a few nights on safari at Honeyguide. I think everyone had a enjoyable time:)

Here follows a few pictures from our tour, enjoy:)

Our visit to Moholoholo Rehab Center for animals, we got to meet a few of the animal ambassadors, here a cheetah. The Moholoholo rehab center started over 20 years ago and their work is very divers, all from helping animlas who got caught in snairs, to farmers calling to say they have a leopard on their property, to taking care of abandoned animals,sometimes they managed to introduce them back to the wild, otherwise they stay at Moholoholo and work as ambassadors for their species.

Elephant in must,quite agressive and did not like us very much, we entered his territory.
He chased us away so we had to reverse
We found lions with cubs
These giraffes where following the lions, because they wanted to make sure they where safe and if they got a chance they would kill the lions cubs, interesting to follow, at most there where 11 giraffs, all looking in same direction
Here hyenas have found the giraff the lions had killed the day before, it was their turn to eat, and after the hyenas the vulters cleaned up the rest, in just 2 days there was nothing left of the giraff.

A kind elephant:)
A rhino blocked our way

That was in short our tour.

Our flight home was delayed so after sitting 7 hours in the bus, we had to wait 3 more extra hours at Johannesburg airport, and of course we missed our connection flight in Frankfurt and had to wait 6 hours there too. Luckily I managed to find a cheap flight home to Vasa for the evening and after 36 hors of traveling I was finally home on sunday evening, to a white Vasa. I just hope the snow will stay now.

Take care and love to all of you.
