student photo essay – emily, wake forest university

1
How many people are lucky enough to have two spring breaks in one year?

2
Spent our second morning of Break at Addo Elephant Park outside of Port Elizabeth.

3
We were one of the first groups to see the five-day-old baby elephant!

4

Zebras recognize one another from the stripes on their bums.

5
Enjoying the view of Addo’s 180,000 hectares of land, making it the third largest national park in South Africa.

6
“I’m working on my roar!”

7
Our first lion sighting.

8
Close encounter with a frustrated male elephant. Spectators watched in amusement as the elephant
harassed our Landy (Safari slang for Land Rover).

9
Getting ready for dinner. Unfortunately, tonight was not a success for the lioness as moments later we watched the zebra limp away with merely a gash in its leg.

10
Thanks to our awesome tour guide, Pieter, for a lekker day. Heading home to mentally prepare for our next adventure: bungee jumping!

11
Nerves are 216m high, as we get ready to take the plunge off of Bloukrans Bridge, the world’s highest bungee bridge.

12
Feeling calm and accomplished with Bloukrans Bridge behind us.

13
Aldyn’s perfect beach day in Plettenberg Bay.

14
Naa-Shorme enjoys her first ever ocean waves, and in the Indian Ocean no less!

15
By the end of the week, we had perfected our veg dinners.

16
Accustomed to the wine tastings in Stellenbosch, we decided to try something new at Mitchell’s Brewery in Knysna.

17
Going for a casual ride in the Park.

18
While waiting for my turn, I witnessed Sabrina’s smooth parachute landing.

19
View of Plettenberg Bay from the plane moments before I jump.

20

10,000 feet!

21
We decided to treat ourselves to Knysna’s famous seafood for our final dinner.

22
Celebrating Naa’s 20th was a great way to end our week together : )
