| The tourists! |
The 8 day Kruger tour this warm February involved a mixture of
international tourists.
The Fritz family of 6 flew down from Germany for an African adventure.
Two American friends, Nancy and Dawn, carried on to see Cape Town once the Kruger
experience had ended. A son and mother team, Carline and Antoine from France joined in the venture.
Highlights
A bush baby joined in the fun by sitting on the table. Bush
babies are adorable small primates which are native to Africa. They have very
big eyes giving them exceptional night vision, and bat like ears which enhances
their hearing.
Hippos were seen cruising the water. Mischievous monkeys and
baboons were also witnessed. Elephants, and giraffes were seen meandering.

A pack of a dozen African wild dogs were seen roaming. They
are highly social animals, and develop strong bonds with their pack. Each one
has its own unique coat pattern, and all have a pair of the same big round
ears.
There were 2 close calls to spotting a leopard, but then everyone
was 3rd time lucky in seeing one! Leopards are secretive and stealthy
cats.
An Epic Tour really does make for a great family trip to
make memories that will last a lifetime.
I totally agree with the last line.
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear Steve :) Thank you on behalf of Sabine and Alfie.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see a Bushbaby up close....and Wild Dogs. The joy of a safari is never knowing what you will see. There are no guarantees. Makes each one an adventure....and a joy.
