I went to South Africa in February with my Nana, my Grandad, my Aunty Dawn and Dominic, my Mummy and my Brother Ronnie. We travelled by 2 aeroplanes from Heathrow Airport. The first plane was 11 hours long, and the second one was 3 hours long, so it was an extremely long flight.
It was mostly hot and sunny, but sometimes it rained. Although it didn’t make much difference to the fun that we had.
I enjoyed the most going to Knysna elephant park where we could feed, stroke and touch the elephants. It was the best day of my life. The most interesting day of my holiday was the day we saw a shark, 15 metres away from the shore. Me and my brother were a bit scared at first, but then we came over and looked at it. On my mummy’s birthday we went on a boat trip and saw dolphins and seals there was a whole rock of seals and the dolphins came right up to the boat. We also saw monkeys the baby ones were really cute.
The food was absolutely delicious. It was mostly burgers but there was pizza and chips too. My favourite activity was swimming in the sea. I got washed up a few times, but I liked it.
