After a very cold night in the camp site of the Addo Elephant National Park, we got up early to venture out before sunrise for another last chance safari. This was the last safari park we were scheduled to see so we wanted to make the most of it.
Unfortunately, the cold weather proved to be another turnoff for the animals. We drove around for hours and saw very little. There were a few hyenas and jackals and kudus about and one distant elephant – but not much else.
Afterwards we got back on the road and headed to another national park known more for its spectacular geography. The place was called Tsitsikamma National Park and we camped along the coastline in from of huge crashing waves that were not inviting for swimmers. There was a pool nearby, but the water felt way too cold for swimming at this winter season.
The place was known for being extremely windy. As the evening wore on the wind picked up and we were all crawling into our tents extra early to warm up in our sleeping bags.
