During the first week, our program organized a bunch of activities for us to get acquainted with each other and with the area. The first of these was called “High Africa”.
So all of our group bused southeast through Stellenbosch and the wine country. When we arrived at High Africa, we discovered it was a camp like facility with small cabins, high and low ropes courses, rock climbing wall, river rafting, and this aw
esome outdoor patio/bar. Our group really got to bond at this camp and we had some of our first great memories of the trip.
There was a massive river right next to the camp and a bunch of us wanted to swim in it. We were hesitant to get into it for fear of what might be in it. We were convinced it was safe though, by the hosts of the camp. Swimming out into the rich African river was one of the most invirgorating experiences I’ve ever had.
The last night at High Africa involved a massive party out on this awesome out door patio/bar. Everyone there was quite smashed and we all had an amazing time. Spiders, shaving cream, urine, music, and alcohol were involved.
On our way back from High Africa, we stopped through Stellenbosch which is the wine country of South Africa. We stopped at this amazing restaurant called Moyo which had every kind of meat imaginable (ox was my favorite). The food was amazing, there was live music, and we got our faces painted. At this restaurant, there was also a cheetah reserve. For a small fee, we I got to go into the pen with an adult cheetah and was able to pet it for a few minute and talk to its care taker. SO COOL!
We got back later that night and decided to venture out to a local bar because it was really our first chance since we’ve been, and who did I randomly bump into? Kara Brown..wtf!
