How I\u2019ve missed my Africa.\u00a0 I was coming to do 8 months of volunteering. The first month was going to be with Great White Sharks. Then the following months were going to be on 2 different reserves. Both amazing! The first reserve I went to, I picked a ride from a private taxi from Port Elizabeth. It was 2 hours of driving until I arrived at the reserve. The place where I would stay was on the second area of the reserve. Just like the previous reserve, they had the buffalos in a separated area to avoid lions doing damage. The volunteer\u2019s area also had a fence around to prevent the buffalos from coming in. These were volunteers, not future guides, so safety was better than the last time.\u00a0\u00a0 I arrived and saw two buildings. One was the kitchen, the living room, the classroom, managers\u2019 office and toilets. The other building was the dorms. Each room with 2 beds and a bathroom. &#8211; \u00a0 A bathroom attached to the room? Now that is luxurious! \u2013 I said. \u00a0 I went inside the office to do my check-in and to know what room I was going to be in. I was told that for the first 2 weeks we would be in another place because there was a school staying in the dorms. I could only imagine how I wish my school would do a field trip to Africa, to do volunteer work in a Game Reserve for 2 weeks! &#8211; \u00a0 So, where are we going to stay? \u2013 I asked. &#8211; \u00a0 We have a tented camp \u2013 the manager answered \u2013 10-minutes drive from here. It is very remote and beautiful. Tent number 3 I started to laugh. Back to the tents I go. But to be honest I was kind of happy, I love tents! For me there is no need for walls and windows made of glass. All I need is a bed and a blanket. A few people started to arrive also by private car, and I realized that they were also the new volunteers. A few moments later, the resident volunteers arrived. Two safari cars with roofs. &#8211; \u00a0 Damn! Cars with rooftops? Fancy\u2026 \u2013 I said laughing. The volunteers jumped out of the car and greeted us. Finally, the age difference was of only 2 years, not 20 plus. They were 10 volunteers, if I remember correctly. After finishing lunch, we went down to the tent area. The camp was also close to a riverbed, so the view was beautiful and the bird life plentiful. I went to remove my bags from the trailer and started to remember the first time on the other camp. &#8211; \u00a0 Ok everyone \u2013 the volunteer coordinator said \u2013 I will show you your tents for the next 2 weeks \u2013 she finished. Grassfield at the main camp I was the last one leaving the trailer. I knew my tent was going to be the first one, so no need to rush. We were walking and walking, the tents were much further away than the other camp. Finally tent number one. &#8211; \u00a0 Ok first tent \u2013 she started \u2013 Ana and Leah \u2013 she said. I was surprised it wasn\u2019t my tent. I looked at the tent and saw it had stairs to go up, now that is a fancy tent. A tent higher than the ground level, smart. All tents were like this. I walked past all the tents, I was starting to think that I was not going to have a tent, but then we got to the last one. &#8211; \u00a0 This is yours Jo\u00e3o \u2013 she said \u2013 you will share it with Nick \u2013 she finished. Nick was from Germany, a quiet person but very nice. He helped me with the bags. He already had chosen his bed and closet. A closet! I was not ready for so much comfort. He decided to give me a tour of the tent. &#8211; \u00a0 Here is the studying tables \u2013 he started \u2013 here you have the plugs to charge your phone and computer. Sadly no wifi \u2013 he said. &#8211; \u00a0 No Wifi? Do we have electricity? \u2013 I asked with a big smile. &#8211; \u00a0 Of course. Here is the switch \u2013 he said while walking to turn the lights on \u2013 and over there we have the bathroom. On the left, the door leads you to the toilet, and on the right is the shower \u2013 he said. &#8211; \u00a0 Wow a shower in the tent \u2013 I said \u2013 that will make life so easy! After this, Nick went to show me where the kitchen was for breakfast and dinner, and showed me the community tent, with all the books and a small Tv. We also had a fireplace. I was loving life. I was also listening and seeing new birds, so I went straight to the library to get a birds\u2019 book. \u00a0 I was so happy. Great accommodation, people seemed great, gorgeous landscapes and new wildlife.\u00a0 I was back home, I was back in Africa.\u00a0\u00a0 Kitchen"}
