On April 19th we, once again, awoke early to a snack of hot chocolate and rusks (we quite like them - they are a hard biscuit that you have to dip if you don't want to break a tooth!) before being transported to Crocodile Rest Camp in Kruger where we got in a small safari vehicle with 2 Kruger rangers and a couple from Germany. We drove for about 15 minutes before getting out to hike in Kruger. Our rangers each loaded up their guns and we set out across the savanna. The lead ranger was hoping to see a lion - and he pointed out signs of a recent lion in the area- but all we saw were impala in the distance and a few wildebeest and warthogs closer. Even without seeing many animals it was a beautiful and peaceful hike. We found that the animals are much more wary of people on foot than when you drive by and look out a car window at them.
