Safari

This weekend we went on a 3 day safari to Kruger National Park.  We stayed at the Umkumbe Safari Lodge on the Sabi Sands game reserve which is on the Western border of Kruger.  We saw 4 of the big 5 - giraffes, elephants (a herd of 30!), buffalo, and rhinos.  We didn't see any lions but we also saw lots of zebras, several types of antelope, and lots of birds.

   


Really cute kids dancing for tips on our way home from Kruger

It was beautiful and relaxing except for the part about having to drive 30 kilometers in Becky's hatchback down a dirt road after a strong rain.  Also, we got pulled over twice for speeding but managed to fulfiull the fines "without a receipt" which is the common practice here.
