Really wanted to see the Big Five -- we missed the two cats -- but saw the Elephant, Rhinoceros (we saw both the black and white rhinos), and water buffalo. Here is a couple of the elephants -- I loved just sitting in the car and watching them move. They use those big ears as fans and they look so majestic.
Couldn't resit snapping this patient mother -- not only were we three feet from her -- but here baby was teasing her. However, she does look a bit befuddled.
On our tour -- I called these Guinea fowls -- the tour guide corrected me and said they were bush chickens (of course, he was just kidding.) He was a delightful guide.







The blue car in the parking lot is ours -- this was taken at another gate into and out of the park. The vastness of Kruger is wonderful -- I hope that they will always keep these animals in this safe habitat.

I sat here and had breakfast -- this was the camp area where we rented a bungalow. All visitors had to be in their respective camp areas by 6:30 PM -- to keep us safe? Or the animals? Of course, when we were on our tour -- we got to be out later -- but the big truck we were in seemed safe. Unless, a cat decided to jump in -- I got to hold the spotlight to try to catch a glimpse of their shinning eyes. No luck, it was raining and no self respecting cat would be out in the rain.
