One of the most amazing experiences in my life has been to (finally) visit Kruger National Park in South Africa!! It is an absolutely amazing place!! We saw so much wildlife throughout the day. I realized we were in a unique place as we were in the parking lot at the entrance competing our paperwork, when a family of warthogs walked by right in front of us!!We saw many, many impala throughout the park. The males have these beautiful horns! They are also a food source for other animals such as the lions.I loved looking at their horns!We keep seeing impala as we drove deeper into the park.I was inspired by the beauty and ruggedness of these horns.This was a heard of female impalas. They are also beautiful, but the do not have horns as the males do.Here is a warthog enjoying his breakfast!He was soon joined by a family of warthogs.Here were two osprey looking for food.This guy is a steenbock and he is like a small deer with horns. Our guide said that he would only be a small snack for a lion! This is a very unique bird’s nest!!This is a female kudu. I thought she had very unique stripes along her side!!I love elephants and we were in for a treat as we saw different herds all over the park!!Here is a rhinoceros! They already removed his horn to hopefully prevent poachers from killing him. I thought these Egyptian geese were very unique birds we discovered in the park!Here is a hyena!! Our guide said that they have jaws that are stronger than a lion’s jaw!!I did not like how he was eyeing our vehicle!! He might think we would be a tasty treat!Elephants are simply amazing!! I love seeing them in so many locations of the park!!Other than Kruger National Park could you expect to find an elephant walking along the road!! These are marvelous creators!!The tusks on this guy are massive and strong!!I am simply amazed with the size and power of elephants!!As we watched this amazing creature, he simply moved along and was continuously eating! It was amazing to see elephants in the wild, with no cage restrictions!!The tusks on the elephants are amazing!! They can move many things with their tusks!!As we were driving, we came to a leopard tortoise crossing the road. The guides said that they have rarely tortoises in the park! The colors of the shell were amazing!!I thought this tree was a picturesque African tree!! After I took the photo, I discovered there were zebras all around the tree!Here is a mighty wildebeest!! They seem to like hanging around zebras!!I think wildebeest have impressive horns!!I enjoyed watching the female impalas! I thought there were beautiful and graceful!Here are a female and male impala! I loved watching them move through the grasses!With all of these impalas, they are a plentiful food source for the lions and leporids when hunting at night.I really enjoyed the majestic horns on the male impalas!!Impalas are beautiful creatures!!We were fortunate to stumble upon so many different elephant herds during our day in the park!!Our guide pointed out that the shape of an elephants ear is in the shape of the African continent!!Elephants are amazing!! This guys tusks are massive and strong!!As they move through an area, the elephants are continuously eating!!Off in the distance, we were excited to find a giraffe!!The wildebeest were massive and impressive creatures!!The wildebeest herd seemed to hang closely together!!Close by to the wildebeest were the zebras!! I love the design of the stripes on the hide!!The wildebeest seem unique in design and they seem to like to be near all the zebras!!I think it is mesmorizing to look at the stripes on the zebras, especially the stripes on their faces!!The zebras seem to be a close family!!The design of the zebra stripes are amazing!!I really enjoy looking at the zebra stripes!!I absolutely love the stripes on this zebras face!!This guy seems to be quite happy and well nourished with his full mane!!Our guide told us that this youg fellow’s mane standing straight up indicates that he is health and well nourished!!This wildebeest looks intense!!I was impressed with the sharp bend in this guys horns!!This guys look intimidating to me!!Zebra stripes are amazing!!

Wildebeests seem forceful!!Wildebeests seem to always be watching closely for predators!!This small guy is a dwarf mongoose!! Our guide pointed out that a group of these guys work together to kill poisonous snakes!!This is a brown snake eagle!!It was nice to see this young giraffe!!Giraffes are so majestic!! It was great to have a closer view with this giraffe!!Giraffes look ungainly, but they move very gracefully!!I enjoyed watching this giraffe maneuver around to eat the most leaves!!This female kudu seemed as interested in us as we were in her!!This is a golden orb spider!! I think he could eat me alive!!I really enjoyed watching the giraffes move around. Massive but graceful!Here is a (cape) buffalo. He seemed to be very happy enjoying this stream!!This giraffe seemed to love how much we enjoyed watching him move around!!I really enjoyed watching this last herd of elephants we found. We watched them move their ears back and forth to cool themselves down. They are assume creatures!!Elephants are massive, smart, and graceful!!These guys seemed to be quite happy eating along and moving their ears to stay cool!!Elephants are amazingly strong!!I enjoyed watching this guy happily feed himself as he walked along!!Elephants are wonderful!!All of a sudden, this giraffe started running full speed across the road!! I have no idea why he was in a hurry!!This is a gorgeous male kudu!! His horns are absolutely amazing!! He was sort of hiding in the shade as we drove by, but we found his and were astounded by his elaborate horns!!This white rhinoceros seemed to be very happy enjoying his meal!!Nearby, a baby rhinoceros joined his mom!!Although quite difficult to see through the trees, this is an african wild dog. The have very big ears and they are a very endangered species.Here the wild dog is moving a bit farther into the trees!!As we were preparing to cross the river and leave Kruger National Park, we looked down and say this massive crocodile!! It is completely amazing how many different types of wildlife we saw today in Kruger National Park!!
