South Africa – Kruger Park Safari

Filed under: Port recaps — Alex @ 2:57 pm

The highlight of my stay in South Africa was my tent safari in Kruger National Park. Staying up all night, meeting everyone at 4:30am, a 2 hour flight, and a 6 hour bus ride kicked off 3 amazing days of camping and animal viewing. We had 4 game drives (3 in the day and 1 at night) in which the 18 of us were split into 2 groups of 9. The groups constantly changed and each group had different and unique experiences – I managed to be one of the few lucky ones to have the best combination of groups. Reasons why:

  • Saw a leopard
  • Had a run-in with an elephant who urinated in front of us
  • Saw a really small baby baboon
  • Saw lions!

Yeah. The only thing I missed out on was hyenas, which isn’t so bad as I still got to experience one of them while it was raiding our camp in the middle of the night.
