Krûger Park

Friday after working hour we went for a trip to the famus Kruger National Park in South Africa. I believe it is one of the gratest game parks in the world. It is about 3 hours drive from here. We drove up to Komatiport in SouthAfrica, and slept over in a lodge there. Then 5 oclock next morning we woke up, and bit after 6 we were in the park.

We met big flocks of may be 100 impalas in one group

 Kruger Park in one of the biggest in the world, bigger than the whole of Swaziland. We only drove through a part of it during 6 hours. We saw a lot: more groups of giraffs, elephants, sebras, impalas, hippos, a lion, rihno, birds etc. What makes it special in Kruger is that you find the animals in their natural environment living as they were supposed to live.

Two giraffs that saw us as we were driving by

 We also met more groups of giraffs along the road. These animals are impressive, they reach up to 5 meter above the ground and feed on the top of the trees. They look suprised when they look at you, may be wondering how it is to have such a very short neck as human beings have! I think God had fun when he made the giraffs!

We also met more groups of elephants. The group on the picture were coming to dring. Afterwards the smallest one played and smached in the water. Then most of them crossed over to our side. - Other elephans we found just in front of us on the road or as they were crossing the road. Very impressive animals.


I can recommend a visit to Kruger National Park, may be in combination by seeing some educational and mission projects in Swaziland and Mozambique.
