Back to South African Trip Reports

Nov 22nd

Today we were to make our way to Kruger N.P for a 5 day stay in three different locations, and also a weather change. Clear blue skies and very hot. A total reverse of the conditions we had endured for most of the trip so far. This in turn gave us a few more photo opportunities.

We spent a few hours around our accommodation, which was Toad Hall (recommended) then onto the neaby wetlands. The first few photographs are from around our accommodation.
