Kruger Park






Hello Again,



Kruger Park was absolutely amazing. We went in through the Crocidile Gate which is the southern most entrance to the park and headed north. Our first stop was at the Hippo Pool where an armed Game Warden escorted us to the pool. We only saw the heads of the hippo's since they usually stay in the water during the day, but yesterday on our way out of the park, we saw a whole bunch out of the water. Most were sleeping, but a few were grazing.






Okay, here is a list of some of what we saw on our drive up to the Oliphants Rest Area where we stayed. I will put a few pictures.






  • Elephants



  • Giraffe



  • Impala (lots and lots, and lots)



  • Kudu (a type of antelope/dear)



  • Buffalo



  • Zebra



  • Wart Hog



  • Hippo



  • Crocidile



  • All sorts of birds



  • Leopard (which is rare)











That's it for now. We are heading for God's Window and Blyde River Canyon tomorrow. I may not be able to post anything until we get back to Cape Town Sunday night.

God bless you all.

Linda

I can't believe you got to see a Leopard, Linda - that's so cool!

The Gang is here around my desk as we look over your photos - it's really nice that the last few photos you posted are hi-rez so we can click to see more details. Was that you on the beach?
