Yesterday we spent the day at Addo National Elephant Park. We saw four of the Big Five. The Big Five are the five animals that hunters say are the hardest to hunt on foot. These include lions, rhino, buffalo, leopards, and elephants. We did not see any leopard because our guide said they stay in the mountains and they avoid human contact because they have been hunted so much. Our guide was Mike and he was fantastic! Going to Addo always reminds me of how beautiful South Africa is...the landscape is breathtaking. Perhaps it is this contrast in the beauty of the landscape and the destitution of townships that represents the ultimate contradiction in South Africa.
