First was our safari into the wilderness were lead by Dennis. Oh what can I say about Dennis; he is a man with no fear, a man with a heart of gold, and a man who knows no bounds. After our delicious warm-hearted breakfast our journey into the unknown began. We came across two rhinos. All of a sudden, one ran at our old army truck and Dennis quickly threw it in reverse, and allowed the rhino to see that were not there to hurt him. Or so we thought! Just as we again approached the rhino, he came charging back and gored our truck, and then ran off. Thankfully our army truck is strong, and built to last.
Then Dennis wanted to play with some young lions while we all watched in horror. His jacket got ripped and so did he. “It comes with the job,” said Dennis and we continued along on our safari. We saw gazelles, bissions, and South Arica’s national animal the springbok. We came across the elephants, and gazed at their massive beauty. We looked around, and saw all of the destruction these elephant caused, because as Dennis informed us that “they don’t know their own strength.” One of the elephants started creeping closer and closer to us. “Omg Ooo ah” our whole SAGE team was getting anxious. Dennis turns the key and nothing happens, he tries again…nothing the car wouldn’t start. He gets up and kicks the elephant in the trunk, giving us just enough time to escape.
That was just a mere sample of an event that took place here in South Africa. I cannot keep writing about my trip with this depth, otherwise it would be endless. But I will still list them.
- We went to the top of Table Mountain we were embedded in the clouds as if we were in Heaven itself.
- Our SAGE team came together, and grew into a loving family. We all have our differences, but that’s what makes us who we are. We are all pieces of puzzle, and it is all of these different pieces that bring us together.
