Kruger Park -- South Africa

This interesting plant was at the gate into the Park.
We are still at the gate into the Park. It was so wonderful to be out of a city and into this beautiful and exotic land.
Sorry should have turn this big fella before I posted him -- but you get the idea. I really wanted to see a giraffe and we saw him shortly after entering the park. :-)
We took a Sunset Tour -- started at 5 PM and ended around 8 PM -- it rained and was cold -- but well worth the trip -- we did not see a great number of animals because of the rain -- but did see a mother hyena with two cubs.
There were impalas everywhere -- but I liked this shot with the Zebras. It was wonderful to be driving through the park and watching the animals roaming free. They certainly were not afraid of cars. When I wanted to get a good shot -- I made a whistling sound and often they looked directly into our cameras.

What a joy to be amongst the animals that live in Africa.
