Today was our last full day staying an Amakhala and it was definitely a busy one. After breakfast this morning we drove to Grahamstown where we got to tour Rhodes University and see their brand new Zoology department. We got to go shopping at the local shops and got some awesome gifts for our families and friends back home. We relaxed in the middle of a busy day by taking a stroll through the botanical gardens. We ended our trip in town by visiting the Rhodes University store where we got some cool RU swag. Once we arrived at Amakhala we went straight to the classroom to attend a lecture by Dr. William Fowlds about veterinary diseases relevant to wildlife management on South Africa. This was a very interesting topic as we learned about the top four diseases that we are most concerned about, which are referred to as the big four. Following the lecture we had to sadly pack our bags as we will be leaving Amakhala tomorrow morning. The staff have been absolutely amazing and we could not thank them enough. Fortunately our adventure still continues as we will be making our way to Mountain Zebra National Park!
