When we arrived at Tsitukamma we were warmly welcomed and soon flying through the trees on a zip wire attached by 3 metal cables. The boys quickly adapted to the height and were soon spotting birds and chameleons at 30 metres high! All the boys revelled in the challenge and our very own Walrus ( Filip Warwus) was happily doing monkey impressions through the foliage. In a rather surreal setting the boys then proceeded to have an impromptu training session outside a traditional tribal gift shop, another first!
This was followed by a quick lunch then off to the old town of Knysna and the Elephants. When we arrived the boys fed the Elephants and had their pictures taken stroking them. The Elephants had slightly dodgy table manners and ate everything we offered them as if they never ate. It was a very unique experience and all the boys were surprised by the roughness of the trunks and the hairiness of the ears! They did have one similarity though as the guides told us that even when washed it takes the African elephant about 2 minutes to get dirty again 'not a problem' cried Tom Gallop 'I can do it in less than that'. God bless you the Gallop Family!
