Woke up really early to catch a flight to Jo’burg. We then had a estimated 3 hour drive to the Game Reserve. Yesterday morning a park ranger was malled at Kruger National Park--reminiscent of the grizzly mallings when I was in Glacier National Park. Weird.
The animals were out and about as the temperature had dropped after a late morning rain. Prides of lions, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, gazelles, rhinos and hippos were all gracefully inter-mingling...for now as it apparently wasn’t dinner time. Really, really beautiful. Surreal too.
We stayed at the Bakgatla Camp in cabins and ended the day with a group meditation service under the beautiful southern sky. The milky way lit the sky enough that flashlights were not necessary. After some star-grazing a few of us stayed up to the wee hours of the morning enjoying the unique environment within the park and secretly hoping we’d see a late night/early morning visitor!
