Kruger

4 of us decided that rather than hanging around camp for our week off we would head to Kruger for 5 days and spend some time going round. It was a lovely week, we started off in the North where there are less animals but the scenery is beautiful, and worked our way south to where there are more animals.

Although we were spending long hours in the day (about 10 a day) it didnt feel like, it and we got to see some amazing things. Over 150 elephants, 18 Rhino, 5 Ground Hornbills, Lions, a Leopard, Buffalo, the Big 5 on our last day, too many birds to count, mongoose, kudu, impala, sable, waterbuck, hyena as well as an adorable hyena cub! The time flew by, all too soon it was time to head bakc to head back to camp.

Friday a couple of us headed in to Hoedspruit to do a lion walk, which actually turned out to be a cheetah walk, but considering cheetahs are my favourite animal, im not going to complain about that! It involved another early morning (leaving at 4.30am) but was well worth it.

Today and tomorrow some serious study needs to be done, in preperation for Bioms and Weather and Climate lectures next week.
