Where to This Time Gramma?

Gramma is coming to pick me up any minute now. We are going on a trip somewhere in this vast world of ours. I have no idea where we are going. The only clue I have is this glove Gramma gave me on her last visit. The glove matches the flag colour of the country we are visiting.

“Where to this time Gramma?” I asked. Gramma showed me the plane tickets.
“South Africa? We are going to South Africa?” I asked with excitement.
“Indeed we are Sprout, indeed we are,” says Gramma.
“Gramma are we going to see elephants and giraffes?” I asked.
“Indeed we are Sprout, indeed we are,” says Gramma.
“Gramma are we allowed to ride an elephant?” I asked.
“Indeed we are Sprout, indeed we are,” says Gramma.

Wouldn’t it be fun to come along with Gramma and I as we travel South Africa?
