We checked out of our hotel bright and early Monday morning and headed south for a little African R & R. Which means safari park!
On the 6 hour drive south, we stopped to visit the Village of Hope. They are a stellar nonprofit that is designed to help orphans in the area. They launched their program in 2008 and already have orphan housing on campus, a primary school, crops, solar energy, a water well and they are in the process of building a secondary school too. We toured their campus and learned about their operation & then hit the road again. It was great to meet other people working in the same capacity. Jenelle & Mike, you're the best.

The park is so large that it took us four hours to drive in once we entered the park to reach our lodge. We didn't see another car the whole drive there. Upon pulling up to the lodge, we were greeted with fresh passion fruit juice and the staff carried our bags off to our rooms. We felt so fancy.
We were able to spend two nights at the lodge with our team and got the chance to see some really amazing animals in the park. It was a once in a lifetime experience to see all the majestic animals in their natural habitat. What a treat.
