So the last 3 days I've been in South Africa at the Tau game lodge getting pampered essentially. It was absolutely ridiculous. I brought toilet paper and everything, thinking I'd really rough it in the wild while seeing animals, but the lodge was better than any hotel I've ever been in. Here are some pics of the huts we got. Each pair of students got one hut.
On the porch, I could nap while elephants were drinking water from this close by creek:
I'm pretty happy with this silly group (minus Andrew taking the picture)
The entire experience was almost surreal. I couldn't believe that we were just riding in vehicles up to animals that I have only ever seen on animal planet. There were impalas, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, kudos, colorful birds, rhinos, and a whole bunch of other animals I can't remember the names of. We saw a lion eating the remains of a wildebeest and then just veg out and sleep. I don't know which pictures to post! But I'll just post a few here:
lion eating
monkeys being annoying around our huts
This was absolutely one of the most fun experiences I have had the pleasure of being on. I think anyone who can make it out to South Africa for a vacation should most definitely.
Now, as promised, here I present our research mentor with a silly face:
Dr. Mpholo
