Kruger National Park

From Swaziland we were back into S. Africa yet again, our third time crossing its borders. We couldn’t leave the country without a visit to the famous Kruger Park -- our first major safari adventures. And Kruger definitely delivers, with some of the most dense presence of wildlife in all of Africa. Giraffes, elephants, hippos and rhinos are regulars. Luckily we got a glimpse of an elusive leopard and a family of lions chilling in the shade. Happily we crossed off our Big 5 and a score of other animals and moved onto Mozambique. It was definitely a great experience to be able observe animals in their natural environment.
