Kruger National Park - Part 8


Today's photos were taken on our first morning game drive at Pafuri, in the Kruger National Park. The mornings would always start out very cold and warm up once the sun had risen sufficiently. I have included captions for most of the pics.

Kruger National Park - Part 7


Our second day at the Kruger National Park was a Sunday. We arrived at the Pafuri Camp, which boasts 5-star tented accommodation along the Luvuvhu River. Every day we went out on game drives with our personal game ranger, Hutch. Today's photos include our first game drive and dinner at Pafuri.

Hutch managed to get a rare sighting of a leopard on our first night! He was holding a floodlight while driving the Land Rover in the dark on a dirt road. We were very impressed.
