The animals are insane! Out of the Big Five, I was lucky enough to see four… up-close and personal. I’ll never forget the rush I felt whenever we spotted another animal. Being at Kruger National Park was out of this world. Driving into the park, the first animal we spotted while still on our bus was a herd of elephants between the trees. I’m sure I shed a tear, while freaking out of-course. From having such an amazing first sighting, we were all pumped to see what was ahead in this great park. A sunset, a sunrise game drive, then a game walk later, and I think I could stay at Kruger forever. I was engulfed by the subtle dominance of the lion, the wrinkles of the elephant that were marked wise years, the beauty and grace that radiated from the leopard, and the unconcealed robustness of the rhino. Then there were the giraffes whose stride was beyond elegant, the crazy baboons, the hyenas, impalas, spiders, vervet monkeys etc. The park holds onto something pure. I remember feeling untouchable as I played among the stars. I remember how funny it was when some of my friends got their food stolen by baboons. And I remember the stillness among the group as we drove through the trees, with our eyes on alert, hoping to spot another animal. I left Kruger with bright eyes, and almost 2200 new photos.
