Marakele National Park
We had the best day at Marakele National Park. Our game ranger was awesome, and knew all the right places to go. We heard from some people that we shouldn`t go there, because we wouldn`t see any animals, but luckily because of Sidney, our game ranger, we saw more than we could have dreamt of!
First we saw some rhinos far away, and were super-excited, but then Sidney told us to go out of the Landrover and towards the rhinos (WTF?). I`d recently read a story in the newspaper about a couple doing the same thing in another park, getting badly injured, so I was so nervous as we walked closer and closer to the rhinos. The wild rhinos. They were so calm as we walked just a few meters away from them and we sat down and watched them for a while. I fell in love with the rhinos that day. One of the best experiences of my life - something poachers can never take away!
Later we found some lions - with a kill! It was so cool to see wild lions with their giraffe, and we stood there for hours watching them, and they got used to the vehicle and started eating, mating and doing what lions do.
On the way back we also met an elephant.
We got to see everything we wanted to see that day, and more!

Overwhelmed
Wow... I really don`t know what to say! Almost 2 million views on YouTube and lots of emails everyday. Unfortunately I`m not able to answer all the emails, but I`m hoping you`ll find places to volunteer, and follow your dreams.
Be the change you want to see in this world.

voices, when mine is carried away on the wind, to plead their case?"

Home for easter
I went back home for easter and had such a good time at the cabin. Beautiful weather everyday! We also went to Langedrag, where they have lots of animals including wolves, moose etc. I got to go in with the 4 wild wolves which was an awesome experience! They were really curious and came up close! They are so beautiful!!
