‘Gone Camping’: Kruger National Park

Posted on May 1, 2012 | 17 Comments

I’ve been missing from blogland again, but with excellent reason – we went camping. YAY!! 😀

We stayed at Berg-en-Dal in the Kruger National Park, one of my favourite places in the world.

Hope you’ll enjoy the photos of this amazing part of South Africa, oh, and if you need a guide for a visit there, call me (any old excuse)!!! 😉

It was a wonderful trip – I feel it’s such a privilege to be able to see and photograph these creatures going about their daily lives. I could could live there! These photos were all taken on this last trip to the park – as you can see, we had excellent sightings, we even saw buffalo, even though only in the distance.

If you’ve never been to the Kruger Park – put a trip there on your ‘bucket list’ immediately!

  Thanks C! You and your clever camera would absolutely love the Kruger Park – not just the big creatures, but the tiny ones are all just wonderful!! I would be thrilled to be your guide – we’ll tour the whole park top to bottom (it is bigger than the UK – may take us a while, but what bliss) Remember to call me now… 🙂

  It was such a great sighting of that leopard too, Sous – we watched her for ages (my gut tells me it was a ‘her’!) It was an awesome trip!
