5th Posting - Kruger National Park

Again, the forecast was for rain, but it turned out to be a beautiful day - just the right temperature and a few clouds to keep the sun from getting too hot. We saw a lot of animals. The girls had said they wanted more elephants and more elephants we saw!
A zebra colt shows off his stripes.

The Impala Bucks strut their stuff.

We saw a lot of buffalo, but this old bull just looked impressive.

The giraffe are always curious.

A brand-new baby impala

Wonderful birds here! This is a woodland kingfisher.

One of our first CLOSE elephant encounters.
He walked between the two cars ahead of us!

This elephant was about 20 feet from us!


Goliath Heron at Lake Panic Bird Hide

Two hippos glare at us from the water

Vervet monkeys

Mother elephant and her young one

But that one was nowhere near as young as this infant elephant!!

Kruger has some interesting landscapes, like this rock mound.
