We awoke to a beautiful sunny day with a temperature already in the high twenties, and a completely blue sky. Stuart proclaimed this to be ‘his Africa’ not all this cold cloudy stuff we have been experiencing.
We left the hotel and traveled directly to the South African Border—and from there to Kruger National Park. We arrived promptly at
9:30 at the Malelane Gate and traveled North through the part spotting several species of park residents along the way, including many impala, elephants, Blue Wildebeest, Secretary Bird, Baboons, and a Dung Beetle . At 12 noon we left the part and at the Paul Kruger gate and drove the short distance to our hotel, the Protea Hotel Kruger Gate. After getting our luggage, and changing we caught a quick lunch then headed out in 3 open vehicles to tour the park.
We saw any more graceful impala’s, elephants,
Giraffe with Oxpicker birds, Kudus both male and female and two Hyenas who were nursing their young. One was very young—our guide estimated about 6 weeks.
We arrived back in time to have a quick swim or a shower etc to cool off before a wonderful supper and early bed time as we will be early up in the morning.
