The last two days we’ve been at Kruger National Park, a place that
puts what you’ve seen on Animal Planet right in front of you. Of the
“Big Five”, which includes the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and Cape
buffalo, we saw all but the rhino. Quite the successful safari given
that we were there for only two days and some people stay up to two
weeks without seeing what we did!
 |
| Tour guide Dave explains the importance of staying in the tour trucks. Don’t want to end up as someone’s lunch. |
 |
| One of the many giraffes we saw. Incredible animals that use their long powerful legs to fend off lions and other predators. |
 |
| At the watering hole we saw zebras, warthogs, baboons, hippos, antelope, and even a crocodile. |
 |
| Not
10 minutes into our second day of safari we came across these elephants
as they crossed the road. If you look at the far right you can see the
baby! |
 |
| Sunrise around 6:30 AM. Best time to see the animals is when the day is still cool. |
Today we fly to Johannesburg and plan to visit the apartheid museum. A great trip no doubt!
