So. Africa: Summer '06
August saw the second of Chris's photo safaris to Kruger National Park in South Africa. After the success of the earlier safari, follow how events unfolded for the second group in this web diary.
Heading north
29th August 2006
We leave camp early for the long drive north to Satara, heading first to the site of a giraffe kill we heard about yesterday evening. The kill site is awash with vultures but the lions and hyena are long gone. Further along the road we spot five lions at a water hole. We wait patiently watching. Our patience is rewarded when a lioness comes to drink.
Walking with buffalo
31st August 2006
This morning, again we head into the bush, looking for buffalo. Despite searching all morning we see none. Then, as we head back to camp, we find them, almost on our doorstep. We grab the cameras and walk into the bush for a closer inspection. It's a great end to our stay in Manyeleti.
