Leaving Kruger

We arrived back on site at just gone 10pm last night and spent a pretty damp and cold night. Our bedding was all damp this morning, but we had no time to dry it out. We were up at 5am and were packed up with our tents down by 6am. Then, it was breakfast and exiting the park with a two-hour game drive on route.

It was a much nicer morning, weather wise. We got some nice shots as the sun came through. On the way out of the park, we saw:

• Elephant
• Wild dogs
• A leopard!
• More wild dogs!
• Warthogs

And then, just before we reached the exit, we saw lions! There were two lionesses and three cubs. They were a long way from the road, but we did capture some images. I could see them clearly through the binoculars.

So, there it was! We had seen the Big Five in our first 36 hours on safari! How lucky do we feel!! Kruger, you have been amazing!Read more
