We spent 3 nights in Kruger National Park. Two nights at Pretoriuskop (http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/camps/pretoriuskop/) and one night at Crocodile Bridge (http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/camps/croc_bridge/default.php). The camps are fantastic! Everything was reasonably priced and we had fun making our own food and enjoying the area.

Our time in Kruger was amazing. We saw so many things that were beyond beautiful!

Here's a list of animals we know we saw:


• Wild dog
• Lion
• Zebra
• Sidestriped jackal
• Leopard
• African wildcat
• Buffalo
• Large-spotted genet
• Giraffe
• Vervet monkey
• White rhinoceros
• Warthog
• Elephant
• Hippopotamus
• Kudu
• Blue wildebeest
• Waterbuck
• Impala
• Common Reedbuck
• Common duiker
• Bushbuck
• Steenbok
• Scrub hare
• Tree squirrel


We'll post another section with some short videos soon.

Male rhino's defecate in particular spots to mark their territories. The dung gets stuck to their feet and then it marks a region around these spots.

This bird is on the "vulnerable" list so it was quite special to see it!

These are very rare to see! There are only about 350 in the whole park and we saw around 15-20. It was very special.
