Great day at Kruger


Stork


Kudu - the antlers were huge


A hornbill. One of my favorite pictures - not sure why.....


This giraffe was literally on the road as we were headed out of the park. If we wanted to, we probably could have reached out and touched it.



This was from another person in our group, but love the picture of the Kudu jumping across the road


This elephant was alone down by the river happily eating grass.


This was taken by someone in another jeep, so unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to witness this.


A HUGE rhino. I had no good concept for how large and powerful they are. We realized pretty quickly that if they got upset and charged the jeep, we were pretty much toast.


A group of giraffes we saw right as we entered the park

We had a great day at Kruger. We got here and got on our safari buses. We were out all day and saw a lot of the main animals. We didn't see any lions or leopards, but we did see a python take out an Impala! The guides said they have never seen that before. We got quite a few great pictures of it.


We came back to the hotel and are really enjoying our stay here. We will leave tomorrow am for the airport.

Our final night - playing Mafia




For the group: Pictorial evidence of the meal that spawned so many upset stomachs
