Day 37
Southern Kruger Park
March 3, 2023 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Let the safari begin. We flew from Port Elizabeth to Nelspruit Airport for a week in the Kruger Park. On the first afternoon we‘ve already seen lions, elephants, giraffe, lots of impalas and a large crocodile. But most of all a group of grazing rhinos by the river and then rushing home before the gate to our camp at Berg en Dal closes at 6 pm a brown hyaena next to the road.Read more

What a treat!

Leopards are beautiful, big, powerful.

Even seeing it casually lounging in the shade it is obvious that it's an apex predator.

That it also decided to trot across the road directly in front of me? Delightful! Wow!

Other highlights: close with a buffalo (who was very accommodating about good poses), a giraffe just off the road who also posed a few times, and beautiful scenic views of mountains and plains. Oh! And a crocodile and hippo in the river.

With exotic wildlife this abundant, there were a few times where I almost felt blase. Honestly we didn't even slow for at least 10 herds of impala. But seeing a giraffe wobble-walk ungainly to reach for juuust the right leaf, or the heave of a lion's belly while napping, or paying attention to the cracked skin of a hippo; it only takes an extra moment and I know I'll treasure these memories later.Read more

Day 6
Sunset-Safari im Krüger-Park
October 14, 2022 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Was für Erlebnisse! Unsere Tage im Park beginnen frühmorgens. Die meisten Tiere sind dann unterwegs zu den Wasserlöchern. Wir können uns nicht sattsehen an Giraffen, Impalas, Zebras und vielen anderen. Ganze Elefantenherden kreuzen unsere Wege oder vergnügen sich im Wasser. Gestern Morgen frühstücken wir bei einer Löwenfamilie, natürlich in gebührendem Abstand! 😅 Zum Sonnenuntergang fahren wir mit Richard einem Ranger in den Park! Wir hatten das Glück einen Leoparden auf einem Felsen zu beobachten, Löwen beim Fressen einer Giraffe zu beobachten und Hyänen aus nächster Nähe zu sehen! Tolle Bilder aus Dieters Kamera verarbeite ich später in meinen Reiseblogberichten. Dort gibt es dann auch Infos zu den Erlebnissen mit unserem Mietmobil. Wir haben es liebevoll African-Rhino getauft! Ist auch ein Abenteuer das Teil. 🥹
Von südlichen Ende des Parks sind wir gestern in Skukuza angekommen, dem größten Camp hier. Schön unter Bäumen gelegen. Heute gehts weiter Richtung Norden am Fluss Sabie entlang nach Satara!
Auf zu neuen Abenteuern!Read more
