Up Close and Personal

Here are some shots from Kruger National Park in South Africa. We had an amazing time and the animals are even bigger than they appear on your screen. We really did get to see them very up close. We rode in an open SUV, that had tiered seating and just a top to help with the heat, once the sun rose. The drivers were constantly checking the walkie talkies so we would turn around and go to wherever the animals were sited. We saw a pride of 5 lions cross a road and go down a gully for a while. We then got to see them hunt a herd of African antelope. The prey were lucky that day as they all escaped unharmed. The elephants would just appear out of no where, if you can believe that. Pete rated it as his all time best day. He then had to revise that and say his all time best day in nature.
