Sunrise Safari


As you all may know, last Monday was labor day, wooh!

I don’t know what holiday it actually was here in Botswana, but schools were out and we got the day off. So what do you do when there is a holiday and 74 trainees?

You do the obvious and go on a rhino safari, yay!!!!

We went to Khama Rhino Sanctuary which is about a half-hour’s drive outside of Serowe. It is mostly a game park to house white and black rhinos but also had other “diphologo” (animals) as well. In total we saw 5 white rhinos two of which were babies, 1 black rhino,  giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, ostriches, springboks, exotic birds, and, of course, lots and lots of impala. The wind chill was killer and I was up and walking to the bus before dawn, but it was entirely worth it.

We all needed this to remind us that, hey, we’re living in Africa, which is pretty awesome!
