Kruger National Park

Sorry haven't able to post. We have all been out in the Bush the last couple of days. We flew out of Jo burg to Nelspruit. It was about a hour flight. Flying and hour then driving a hour in a half to our final place. Though driving a hour in a half isn't like home. The last half of the drive was on a dirt and bumpy road. On the dirt road is were joined up with the bush. Driving on this dirt road, you could see animals in the bush. Finally getting to out game reserve called Londolozi. Here we were met by a group of their staff members to make us feel welcome and check us in. At Londolozi, the family took over the tree camp. Every morning and afternoon we got to go on a game drive with Jessica and Tom along with our trackers. There was two Land Roover that took the family out into the bush search for what we could find next. We never knew what we were going to see. Each group saw something different than other other group. Sometimes we would met up with the other group if they had found something. We all got to see what is know as the Big Five. After our of morning game drive which was for a couple hours, we would come back and have a huge breakfast. Relaxing in the afternoon about 3 we would have high tea and then headed out for another game drive. The neat thing about Londolozi is its known for Leopards. Well, sure enough we all got to see a Leopard which is a rare thing to see. Being out on a game drive all afternoon you come back and the camp manger and her staff have dinner arranged for us on the grounds somewhere. Sometime you can even have a Hyena come through dinner and take a visit. Yes, we had this happen to us the first night we were there. We had a great time out in the bush at Londolozi with the staff. You never know whats going to happen out int he bush you might in get stuck in the river trying to go find some Lions. You think I'm joking nope. So we had a great time seeing the animals in their natural place of living instead of being behind some bars at a zoo.
