Kruger National Park

It was an early start to leave our reserve at 5:45am to get to Kruger National Park early. The day was supposed to reach 40°, so getting out early to see the animals was paramount. We packed some breakfast and our guide John took us to the park.
We learnt much about the history of the place and had some incredible encounters with elephants, zebras and giraffes standing within just a few metres of the van.
The list of animals seen increased rapidly with elephants, lions, leopards, hippos, warthogs, wildebeest, buffalo, zebras, impala, crocodiles, gazelles, ostriches, birds and plants and everything in between.
As the temperature crept upwards, we took lunch at an awesome steak restaurant (which felt a little unusual having steaks right in front of all the wild animals).
Heading back to our accomodation we unwound over dinner which was a fireside BBQ with some champagne bubbles. We said a farewell to some of the other visitors at our reserve before ticking in for the night.Læs mere
