Our journey begins everyday.

Everyday brings a new adventure. We don't have to look for it, we only have to look.

Kruger national park

Animals galore, this is where you see all the African animals you want including the big five. The big five are The African Elephant, The African Lion, The Cape Buffalo, The leopard and last but not least the Rhino. We had the luck of seeing them all. The park in itself was amazing the animals were popping out of everywhere and all we had to do was keep our eyes open and drive on the tar road. The only animals we did not see were the cheetah and wild dog. In addition to the big five our favorites were giraffes,zebra,warthog and the guinea fowl. (Guinea fowl are basically a black bird with white spots and a big blue hammer like head. )

We had the luck of seeing these rhinos 10 minutes into the park right on the road.

One of my mothers favorite animals the warthog.


The babies were by far the cutest animals we saw.
This is just one of the pictures that shows how mixed up the animals are.
This is just one of the Hyenas that prowled the perimeter of the camp ground.
There were 2 types of monkeys in the park baboons and these cute guys the vervet monkey ,he was one of the smallest ones we saw.
We saw plenty of elephants and quite a few big groups this was one of the at the river.
We didn't see many crocs but I was dissapointed in their size.   
HIPPO!!!! We saw an incredible amount of these big guys. 
These two teenage elephants were having a brawl. The bigger one won. It wasn't a fight to the death.
This big guy was swaggering around on the edge of the river. We were amazed by the size of the African elephant  they were at least 1 meter taller than the asian ones.
The guinea fowl a crazy  crazy bird. They like to fight and jump on the road.
Brotherly love.
This was probably my favorite animal. We got to see six of them in total three males three females.
Its hard to believe but these birds are endangered.





SMILE!!!!!!
Look into my eyes.
FIGHT!!! FIGHT!!!FIGHT!!!!FIGHT!!!!
Hut two three four keep it up two three four hut two three four
