First Day in the Kruger

Sunday, 7th November 2010


After a short walk and another glorious breakfast, we set off for our first stop in the Kruger Park at Orpen Camp.  The booking had omitted Helena so no bed was available for her - she had to sleep on the camping mats for two nights, but at least we were not charged!  

 
Orpen camp overlooks a man-made water hole, just outside an electric fence and was a wonderful place to sit with a beer and observe the wild life.  We saw various antelope, water buffalo, elephant and a black backed Jackal skittishly trying to avoid the Buffalo to take a drink.
