Game Treking in Pretoria

While on medevac in South Africa, PCV's work with an American doctor who sets up all your appointments with specialists, fills your prescriptions, listens to all your aliments/complaints/observations and helps answer any medical questions (or non medical questions) that come to mind. Our doctor is a very kind man who checks on us and wants the best for us. On Sunday he took us to a Game Reserve in Pretoria (the town we're staying in). It's a small reserve and you either walk or mountain bike around. It was a beautiful day and we were able to see all the main animals: zebra, giraffe, various types of antelope, and guinea fowl.

As with being on medevac we didn't exactly have the appropriate hiking gear with us and we are also a mixture of those recovering from surgery and those whose ailments are still not defined. This made our trek slow going, something none of us PCV's had a problem with but our poor doctor who is fit and healthy seemed to have a few moments where he forgot who he was with. All in all, it was a wonderful outing and a treat to get to see so many animals close up. It was also wonderful to be out and come back knowing I was exhausted for more reasons than just being sick. I had a great nap as the sun shown down on my bed:)
