Day 4 – Kragga Kamma and Hearts F.C.

Today we left Cape Town and a short 1-hour flight later, we arrived in Port Elizabeth. There, we were greeted by our driver, good friend and overall legend, John Moketsi.

John took us to our accomodation at Kragga Kamma Game Reserve. Students were immediately impressed with the ostriches and rhinos before we even got to the check-in office.

Terri, our safari guide took us on a game drive. In just the first day we’ve already spotted springbok, wildebeest, bontebok, giraffe, cheetahs, impalas, monkeys, nyalas and warthogs.

After this amazing experience, we went to Fairview Soccer Courts where we caught up with our good friend Stephen Morgan and some of the boys from Hearts Football Club. We jumped straight into some mixed 5-on-5 games. Afterward, they organised a traditional braai and we all had delicious boereworse roll and salads. They were such terrific hosts and very accomodating. Our visit finished with the presentation of the soccer boots and equipment that has been donated by our friends and family back in Australia. Stephen Morgan and Heart’s F.C. will be able to disperse this equipment to underfunded clubs within various communities.

The evening culminated with our nightly ritual of a ‘debrief’ where we review the days events and share what we observed and what we thought about. It’s fantastic to see our students becoming better travellers each day.
