After finally arriving in Johannesburg after our mammoth trip from Toronto it might be reasonable to think we'd be sleeping and catching up on rest for at least an entire day. Nope. We hit the ground running by heading on safari the next morning. Our journey en route visit Kruger National Park was nearly a full-day drive. Along the way we visited Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre where we had the opportunity to learn more about wildlife rehabilitation and rescue efforts being made in South Africa. The biggest obstacle for wildlife in Africa is a devastating loss of habitat in tandem with human interference in the form of power lines, poisoning and trapping.
We had a chance to get up close and interactive with a number of different animals including lions, cheetahs, leopards, vultures and honey badgers to name just a few. Overall, it was an enriching educational experience for us and the perfect kind of introduction before we head out on safari.
Visiting Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre in South Africa Travel Video Transcript:
Our first full day in South Africa started with a long drive from Johannesburg towards Kruger National Park. Even though our safari wouldn't begin until the following day we enjoyed some great views of the countryside and even visited a wildlife rehabilitation center.
Okay, so we've been driving all morning. We've actually been up since five AM and we are finally stopping for lunch. We're taking a little break. And yeah, we're just going to enjoy a meal before we continue on towards the park.
Alright, so our meal has arrived. What are we having? We're having a Fred Flinstone portion of ribs. Take a look at this. This is enormous. Ready to dig in! And we're sharing this. There is no way I could eat this all by myself. Especially after being in a bus all day.
Alright, Fred Flinstone. And the only way to eat these properly is with your hands. Those are pretty good ribs.
Okay, so this afternoon we are visiting the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. We are going to be visiting some animals and just learning about the rehabilitation effort that is going on here. And yeah, let's go have a look around.
Some of the main reasons for rescues include animals being affected by power-lines, snares and also poisoning.
It was awesome to see all of the animals but the honey badger truly stole the show.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South African culture, South African arts, South African foods, South African religion, South African cuisine and South African people.
