Berg-en-Dal

Tuesday, November 20 I expected Malelane Gate the opening at 5:30 in the morning; 20 minutes later I entered Kruger National Park, wiki here. Then after having bought the map of the roads and tracks I undertook my first visit which was profitable. The day after at 5:00 a.m. I was for hunting photographs. I admired my first leopard, certainly in a tree and difficult to take a picture, but finally I saw it. For memory, the “big five” are the elephant, the leopard, the lion, the rhinoceros and the buffalo. The traffic rules are common to all the South-African parks; for example the vehicles of more than 4000 kg can take only the asphalted roads. The park has a heavy heat in this at the end of November more than 36°C in the shade!

Pretoriuskop

Thursday, November 22 after to go to the reception of Pretoriuskop Camp, I left for hunting wild animals. The neighborhoods of the camp are covered with shrubs hiding the animals and making the photographs random. The highlight of the trip was a couple of hyena and their pup. The following day Friday for my departure at 5:00 of the morning after one rainy night, a couple of bird expected me on the grid of the barbecue to wish me a good visit. At the end of this visit I was the spectator of three elephants playing in a pond and evolving under water the horn in the air as snorkel!
