South Africa was awesome!!
First, the safari at Buffalo Camp.  Our camp was in a private game
reserve and everything was amazing, even the African food.  We lived
in tents, up in the trees.  It was pretty sweet.  The animals that we
saw on safari were many giraffes, white rhinos, hippos, warthogs,
monkeys, lions, nyalas, kudus and herds of African buffalo, savanna
elephants, impalas, antelope, wildebeests and zebras.  I rode an
elephant and saw some of these animals even closer because they
weren't afraid of the elephant.

When we returned to Cape Town, we went to see the African penquins on
the beach.  There were thousands of penquins everywhere.  They were so
adorable.  They have very sharp beaks and could bite a chunk of skin
out of your body.  Some of the penquins were sitting on an egg.

Then after that, we rode the cable car up Table Mountain and hiked
around.  It was much cooler on the top of the mountain.  I was sad
because it was our last day in South Africa.  A thick fog rolled in
that night and we could not leave until the next day.  It was sad to
see South Africa fade away in the fog.  Onto Mauritius!  I can't wait.
