Hi friends,
Today we have successfully booked the details for our trip to Port Elizabeth next Friday through Tuesday! :) We have the car rental reserved, hotel accommodations booked, and our Addo Elephant Park safari reserved through Criss Cross Adventures! :) :) :) :)
Next week Friday we will leave Cape Town bright and early in the morning and drive down the Garden Route. We will stop to view Cape Agulhas, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet, and then we will stay overnight in Knysna. On Saturday, we will continue the drive to Port Elizabeth. When we arrive, we plan to go to Seaview Game and Lion Park, where we can handle lion and tiger cubs, as well as see other wild animals in the reserve (including giraffes!!!!). On Sunday, we have an 8 hour full-day safari at Addo Elephant Park. SO PUMPED. On Monday we leave Port Elizabeth and drive back west toward Oudtshoorn. In Oudtshoorn, we will tour the Canga Caves, and if time permits, we will explore an ostrich farm. We will spend the night in Oudtshoorn and complete the drive back to Cape Town on Tuesday.
This will be the most awesome adventure ever! CAN'T WAIT! :)
I am also pretty excited to drive, seeing as my driver's seat will be on the right side of the car and I will have to drive on the left side of the road. I have missed driving! Hehe, it will be fun and different for sure! Yesterday I bought a really great road map book of South Africa, so we should be all set to go the distance!
Adventure is out there,

btw, did you check to see if the rental would be an automatic or standard transmission as MOST of the rentals are standard transmissions... enjoy ADDO.. .also in Oudtshoorn, is the Cango Wildlife ranch.. it's kinda a small zoo, but $ raised goes to Cheetah rehab.. and you can spend time w/ a cheetah for an extra fee. Definitely make time to go to Gansbaai and Hermanus for whale watching and shark diving :)
