The Kruger
Kruger National Park is not the only "open game" park in Africa, but it is perhaps the most famous. It is roughly the size of the state of New Jersey. One can spend weeks driving around seeing all sorts of native animals. And then again one can drive around for weeks and see nothing because the animals run free and the herds migrate daily. The first pic is that of Hetti, my gracious guide and friend standing alongside the list of do's and dont's. One thing you can't do is get out of your car except at camp sites which are not close together. Trust me, being in a small car with a Rhino 2 meters away is both a thrill and a fright. Also being careful not to run over the Meerkats that scamper across the road. What an experience. Thanks again Hetti for making this one of the best times of my life.
