Today was a well needed rest to the emotional trip we have been on so far. We visited the National Zoological Gardens and had an all access backstage pass to the workings of the zoo! It was amazing! The tour began with a presentation at the main office building. From there we headed to the animal hospital where we had an informative visit with the reproductive specialist. I confess that it was way more than I ever dreamed of learning about specimen extraction methods of zoo animals! Let's just say it kept us from running out of dinner conversation. :-)
After a golf cart tour of the grounds and animals, we lunched alongside the elephants. Sooooo unbelievably cool! It was a perfect afternoon and we all left in lighter spirits. We arrived at the Hyatt Joburg and were amazed at the beauty of the grounds. We are looking forward to our next day in the Mamelodi schools.
