We certainly got off to a bang in Kruger National Park, what
with a pack of wild dogs sighting, the cheetah taking down the impala, lions,
and rhino all on the first day. We followed it up the next game drive out with
an AM sighting of the elusive leopard.
That is typically the one animal that people miss on the “Big 5” tick
list.
One of the images included below appears to be just a stand
of tall grass. Look harder and see if
you can spot the animal in hiding. That
would make you think twice about going for a stroll outside of your car (not
allowed, btw).
There is also an interesting image of a zebra with his tail
trimmed off short. I would love to know the back-story on that, but I think it
is a safe guess that it includes a hungry lion that went without dinner that
night…
Our days in Kruger followed the same routine of most safari
enthusiasts: get up at dawn for a 2-3
hour game drive; come back to camp for a late breakfast and a dip in the pool;
maybe do an evening game drive or an early braai (barbeque); write in the
journal; go to bed. Wash, rinse, and
repeat the next day. Not a bad
program.
