Today we started the day with a sleep in and left the camp just before 9 for our morning game drive. Firstly we had to stop to allow a couple of elephants to cross the road, we then saw some stupid people out of their car at a bridge that did not say you were allowed to do so, a herd of buffaloes resting under some dead trees, a couple of giraffe, a female bushbuck, a few Vervet Monkeys, more giraffe, more elephants and once again more elephants.

We arrived back at 2pm and spent the next few hours eating and resting. Our last afternoon game drive for our visit to Kruger started at about half past four. This afternoon we saw zebra, warthogs, a bull elephant, hippos in a small river, the dangerous fruit of a Sausage Tree, giraffe, zebra, a bull elephant that walked into the small river to drink and splash water over itself which seemed to irritate the nearby hippos, impalas, a hippo walking around near dusk time and a troop of baboons sitting around as the sun set.

Tonight we enjoyed our last evening in the park as tomorrow we were heading south to spend
