Return to News Article List In Her Own Words....    by The Earth Organization The group after painting the local Zulu orphanage. All geared up for their ziplining canopy tour! "The decision to write that essay for The Earth Organization’s environmental essay contest was the best decision I have ever made because my new memories and experiences from my trip to South Africa are priceless and everlasting. I remember when my family and I met Marco which may be one of the nicest people in the world, who showed us around the city. I remember sleeping at Woodhall Guesthouse with all the windows wide open as to invite in the warm night air as well as the sound of the insects singing. I remember Zip lining a hundred feet above the forest floor and feeling the mist from the gushing waterfall. And finally I remember the day that I drove through the village to Thula Thula as kids ran after the car smiling, waving and yelling "Sawubona!" (Hello!). I even fell in love with a furry little Bushbaby named George that enjoyed running onto the dinner table and stealing your food. But when I took my first game drive and saw a prideful and majestic African Elephant, it instantly became the highlight of the trip. I've never seen one so close and so free in my life. If I could, I would have just sat there and simply watched it eat for hours. I was also amazed to see eccentric baboons jumping and swinging from branch to branch, a cute little dung beetle rolling his dung ball on the grass, curious Giraffes that stare at you from a mile off, and a baby Rhino that instantly adored you if you rub his tummy. My whole trip to South Africa can only be described as "life changing". When I came back to the US, I felt refreshed and new. I was ready to dive back into high school and take on my final exams. And as I go day to day, I carry memories with me that make me smile and burst out singing "sho-sho-lo-za" and remember all the wonderful people that I met on my wild adventure in Africa." -Mariah Fisher-Kendrick   TO ENJOY YOUR OWN ECO SAFARI ADVENTURE, VISIT US AT WWW.ECOSAFARIAFRICA.COM !   The following Gallery is associated with this article: Environmental Essay Contest Winner's Eco Safari Adventure!
