Trip to Game Park

Last weekend we went with my parents to the Pilanesburg Game Reserve, a game park a couple of hours outside Johannesburg. It was lots of fun!

We spent hours every day driving around looking for animals. Even though we tried valiently to find all of Africa's Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, elephant), we only saw the last two. Deron was particularly disappointed we didn't see any cats, but it was still amazing to see the beauty of the park and diversity of the animals. Southern Africa definitely has lots more cool wildlife than West Africa!

As you can see, we were able to get really close to many of the animals -- in fact, this elephant even turned and attacked our car, and we have the video to prove it:
