Kruger National Park-- By Meg

Towards the end of our trip we planed to go to the big game park, Kruger National Park. 

Two Christmas's ago we planed on going to Kruger, but our car broke down so we were not able to. So this was a big treat! Especially since we had our grandparents with us! 

We drove into the park late morning and didn't see a lot before 

we got to the place that we were staying.  

We had booked a night drive so we were hoping 

that we would see something just amazing.

It was SO beautiful!! (no enhancing)

The first thing that we saw was a Leopard! It was just sleeping in the tree next to the road.
It was amazing!!!

It was like everyone in the park was there to see the leopard!

 

It came down and walked right by our truck!! So cool!

We spent the night at a place inside Kruger. We got up super early the next morning hoping that we would be able to see lots of animals!

The Sunrise was amazing! We never get up early enough to see the sunrise!

We drove and drove and drove and didn't see much.

But then, we saw lots of giraffe!

A baby hyena!

We also saw lots of Elephant!!

 

Zebra are my favorite!!!!!!

We we so ready to see some Lions.....but we never saw any until we were about to leave and somebody told us about a lion kill down a little road on a riverbank. So we started down the road and we then able to see an amazing lion kill. Even if it was far away! 

 

While driving to the exit of the park we were able to see 

about 8-10 more lion laying in a dry riverbed.

We had a very fun time at Kruger!!
