Another game drive tag. No sooner than we went from the camp, we stopped a couple in a PW, and says that we must down to the T-junction towards "Malelane Gate should go, as were wild dogs, lions and even a leopard. So quickly turned and raced down (if the allowed 50 km / h race may be called ...). Just before the first T-junction were a few cars. A sure sign of lions ... And sure enough, there are two females and a male about 5 feet from the road and enjoy the sunny morning. Shortly after that we drove on and meet again on many cars. This time, two lions are right on the roadside:
A few miles further then the next Jam. We have to wait behind some bushes, but I find the leopard in the tree soon. He is very far away and yet because of the way cars are not as good gabs Photos:
Unfortunately, the Leopard just risen from the tree, as we were able to place well. Too bad! We then waited a long time, if it rises back to his prey. At some point, we are becoming further increased, the wild dogs of course we did not want to miss (are even rarer than the Leopard):
On our way we saw elephants and then two buffalo. I said to Xenia missing Just a Rhino to the Big Five ... "And what I see at the next river crossing: a Rhino, though far away but still ... So it was for us a very successful game drive tag. Unfortunately we had to leave the NP again today, as all camps are full. are late, we arrived in Hazyview and camped in the "Gecko Bushpackers" (simple but cheap).

Back in the Kruger. We went through the "Paul Kruger gate to the park and then north to the" Satara Rest Camp. Again we saw many antelope (this time even smaller as the Steenbok and the cliff divers). Many buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra, waterbuck and kudu - and of course countless impala. In the camp are also 14 mobile homes with Swiss (TCS tour). And also some other hats in the Swiss NP (probably because of the autumn holidays in Switzerland). So we always have to tell you how we've done an AG-car here ...
