Start to a Kruger Park experience
on Jul.05, 2010, under South Africa, Travel
Sunday we arrived in the Kruger Park. We were going to ener via the Paul Kruger gate, but due to time and the fact that we were close to the bottom third of the park, we entered via the Numbi gate which we’ve never been through before.
The day was fairly uneventful but we did see:
Elephant
Impala
Steenbok
Kudu
Crocodile
Wildebeest
Giraffe
White tailed mongoose
Lion
When we were checking in we met a family who had entered in the Paul Kruger gate and they told us there was a Leopard lying in a tree close to the gate. Over an hour after their sighting we went to look for it but never found it.
Then we did a 3 hour sunset drive with a rookie driver who was fairly hopeless. I can’t believe how little we saw, but we were rewarded towards the end of the night with a really close sighting of 4 Lions. Because we hadn’t seen much we were able to spend a long time with the Lions, although obviously it’s hard to take a decent photo at night.
