This would be our final full day in South Africa, a day mostly of rest. We ate breakfast at Wimpy and headed out of town to visit the lion park. The drive through the South African countryside was amazing! This large, outdoor park gets visitors an up-close visit with giraffes, lions, gazelle, zebras, meerkat, emus (?), cheetahs, hyenas, and several other African animals. We also got to enter an enclosure with lion cubs, where you can play with the cubs up close.
Stefani contacted a friend named Anna who cooks traditional African food and serves it in the park near Johannesburg University and we bought several meals from her. We ate at the mission house and tried to soak in our last African evening together. After reflecting on our experiences and what we left back home, we had grown very close together. While we missed people and places in the US, we were already anticipating how much we would miss Africa and Ryan.
