The Leopard
The Waterbuffalo
I will add pictures later... maybe... getting down to finals week so I am getting a little busier with school work.
Anyways, we decided to stop at Kruger just because it was on the way to Mozambique. It ended up being much more fun and exciting than Luke and I expected. The night before we went into the park we stayed in the most disgusting room. It was basically a trailer behind a gas station. There were lots of ants and cockroaches, but it was the only thing we could find under R1000.
We got to the park early next morning and begin to drive around. It is a bit like Yellowstone except you can't get out of your car outside of the campsites because the animals are more dangerous. We saw a lot of impala and some cool birds. We were content with that because we weren't expecting much, then we saw a baby rhino with it's mom on the side of the road. Didn't really get a good picture because I panicked when the baby looked at us and started to walk towards the car. These were black rhino (more dangerous than white). After that the animals just kept appearing! More rhino, zebra, Leopard!, hippo, Hyena, wild dogs, giraffe, elephant, Waterbuffalo, kudu, Waterbuck, all kinds of antelope, crocodile, warthogs, ostrich... I think that covers it. Leopard are pretty rare to see and people were shocked that we saw one not on a guided safari. All of this from the comfort of our Kia Pinto! We had some issues with waterbuffalo not moving out of the road. We decided to stop driving after them after I read that they are the most dangerous animal because they charge unexpectedly :).
Stayed a night in the park then continued on to Mozambique!
