It’s kind of hard to believe, but it’s been almost one year since Sam and I were travelling in South Africa. Where did time go?! Our three week trip was spent covering the length of the country from Johannesburg to Cape Town, and needless to say, one of the coolest things we did was go on safari in Kruger National Park. Seriously, I saw animals I never even knew existed!
Our visit to Kruger was filled with lots of oooh-ing, ahhh-ing, and calling out ‘Pumba’ every time we saw a warthog. That never got old! We had a guide who was a bit of an introvert, but he still had us all in stitches every time he pulled a safari joke; case in point, the time he told us that the wildebeest was the last animal God created since it looked like a mash-up of leftover pieces. I bet he says that every time he brings visitors to Kruger, but it still cracked us up...
I left Kruger with so many good memories, so today I thought I’d share a few of those highlights with you:
