First 24 hours in Kruger

The game viewing has been more than anyone could expect.  These pictures are just a small piece of the experience.  From the first Giraffe to now,  3 days later it has been continous game viewing and shutter snapping.  I have not however,  had the same success with the  Internet "fly stick"  I rented at the airport.  It's not the "fly sticks" fault because it only works where there is cell service.  I will post when ever I can.


 Mama and baby seen  minutes after of entering the park


 We almost missed this proud lady, she blended into the bush so well.



This beauty no one could miss



Satara Rest Camp

Kruger Nation Park has 9 entry gates, we entered the park at the Orpen gate about in the middle of the park.  The drive from the gate to our rest camp was only 40 paved miles, but game viewing along the road made it a 4 hour drive.  When we arrived at the camp we were greeted by Zebras grazing in front of the camp.



These Lions  were seen on a sunrise Ranger lead game drive  the first morning.


This lion as well as the ones above where within 50 feet of us.
We sat and watched and took pictures for probably 20 minutes. I have a lot more pictures and experiences to share and will post again soon.
