Kruger

---

Kruger surprised us. We felt somewhat obliged. Here we were, passing by one of the most famous game reserves in the world during the peak wildlife viewing season, but without any strong urge to dawn our safari hats. Luckily, after finding a cheap one-day car rental, we decided to go for it. It was, in reality, how we imagined naïve tourists might picture an African game park experience. We drive in the gate and...hey look there's an elephant eating a tree...cool a bunch of water buffalo...let's turn here...and wow check out the zebra and giraffes....and over in that pond...my gosh, look at all those hippos. What a happy family of baboons eating berries in the tree. What are all those cars stopped for? Oh, it's a big lion sprawled on his back in the sun. And on and on and on. The day zips by too quickly, and we decide that game reserves aren't so silly after all. (jjk) Krugar photos
