March 25, 2017 - Kruger
Checked our mileage into Avis and then headed off for a late
morning game drive. Quite uneventful,
seeing a lion in the tall grass.
March 26, 2017 - Kruger
Up early for a game drive, out of the gate by 6:30 am. Two minutes in we find a group of hyenia’s
lying on the side of the road. Then giraffes
and elephants. On our way to Sabie camp,
we came across a pride of lions. So did
an unfortunate wart hog, who travelled into their midst from downwind. The lions were off, the kids heard a squeal,
and it was meal time. Great view of the
mightly male feasting, and the females trying to get in on the action. Got to see hippos kissing in the water, and a
few huge crocs at the side of a pond. Later
that afternoon, we had the chance to see many elephant. Caught a few running down the river, trumpeting
away, not sure why they were so vocal.
Lots or rolling around. Later we
had an elephant that had us backing up on the road, as he was not happy with us
taking his picture. At last he decided
to move off to the side. I took off past
him and he was mad about our race for freedom, and chased after us. Lots of adrenaline pumping in the vehicle as
the elephant realized that he was no match for the Hyundai bus. Came across one more angry elephant that gave
a partial chase, but my passengers were not interested in any further games of
chicken. After nine hours on the road,
we returned to our camp.
