After an early morning start, our Rangers, Pierre and Jacques headed off to Kruger National Park with all of our Guests in camp. It was a nice cool morning which turned out to be a warm African safari day.
They all had the spirit of adventure for the day and were sure to have many great sightings. The morning started off slowly but picked up very quickly, by seeing many plains game to start off with, they all loved seeing the large herds of Zebra around every corner and all the other small things that make up the life of the bush.
They had stopped off for a coffee break at one of the rest spots and everyone could take in the scents of the bush and stretch their legs. Not long after that that they came across a huge breeding herd of elephants and the adorable calves they had with them. One of the male elephants even had a display of dominance and they had the advantage to take some really great photographs, they eventually moved on and the elephants just carried on grazing. Down the road they found a pack of wild dogs resting under the trees, taking in the African sun.
It was time for breakfast and ourguests had a lovely breakfast under the trees taking in the peacefulness. After spending some time looking around and learning about the small things of the bush tjhey moved on. They found some lions down the road, doing what lions do best, sleeping. The one lion got up and walked around a bit and then just “flopped” down under the shad
e again.
After seeing the lions they saw many birds and small game and out of nowhere popped two rhinos. A beautiful cow and a very young calf, they were very comfortable with all the vehicles around and just grazed merrily and enjoying each others’ company. They then moved on for lunch, as they were going along the found a large herd of buffalo that was so big they were everywhere, as far as you could see, there were a lot of calves and young adults that where playing around like kids do. A great safari holiday experience that Kruger Park day trip was indeed.
