Bye bye Kwantu!

I can't believe it's been my last day at Kwantu already!! This morning, the ranger let us play with Ben and the lion cubs again for about 30 mins :-))) I got plenty more scratches and bites but it was worth it! After that, we went to the elephant sanctuary to check all was well as there was a party of 26 school children coming today!! We went back to the reserve and waited for them to arrive. We served them food and drinks and then they went on a game drive, which I decided to miss out. I went down to see the cubs again and as the school children were being shown the other predators, the ranger let us in with the cubs again!!! We were in for another half an hour and then I had to say my goodbyes to them :-(

I went back to my room, showered and finished packing and then went for lunch with the other volunteers and the rangers at the Day Centre where the children were taken for their lunch.

Then I had to say goodbye to everyone and I headed into Port Elizabeth in the Kwantu bus with the children!!

So now I'm in PE staying the night in a very nice backpackers' lodge. I had my dinner about an hours ago and I'm settled here for the night, chatting with other travellers. Tomorrow morning, I fly to Cape Town and spend the night in another backpackers' lodge before heading to Gansbaii for the strt of my Great White Shark adventure!!
