I get another day in Kruger!

This will be our first day in Kruger in an open safari vehicle so I'm very excited about that. Its a little chilly at first in the morning but I get over it.

I have now taken several pictures of most animals in the park so I start practicing with black and white. I liked this one of the warthog.

It wouldn't be a day in Kruger in the spring without seeing a baby elephant. This one for some reason was carrying this branch along as they walked.

And this one thought if he couldn't see us we wouldn't be able to see him.

Another group of babboons crossed the road in front of us.

I took so many photos of giraffe last time that I laid off a little but I couldn't resist this one.

Sometimes I think they find us more interesting to watch.

Little did I know that my best Kruger moment was about to happen. We turned on to a dirt road and saw the tail end of a lion disappearing into the bush. When we got up to the spot another lioness was coming out on the other side of the road.

And then another and another and another. Us and the car on the other side of the road were the only ones to witness the event.

There were 14 lion cubs that crossed all in a line.

A total of 20 lions crossed before it was over. The sad part was that the huge male was at the end of the lion and that is when my camera decided to quit taking photos.

Nothing much could beat this sight but we did stop at a river crossing and see these turtles resting on a rock.

This monitor lizard was the last interesting thing. Two of them actually met up and we thought there would be a great fight. But in the end they just bobbed their heads at each other and took off in opposite directions.
Before the day was over Monet fed us another great dinner and took us on a night drive around Marloth Park. This amounted to putting plastic chairs in the back of Andre's truck and driving around with a spot light. Our big find was a hyena near their dump site.
