November 5th
An early start in order to board our Safari wagons which were ready alongside the train at 6:30 am , breakfast being a bit chaotic.
We were in a 10 seater wagons, with just four of us are the two being Germans. We entered the Kruger Safari Park fairly soon and and saw huge warthogs, a miniature giraffe, loads of impala and some other animals before spotting a leopard.
At 9:30 we stopped for a coffee and muffin: we were horrified at how many safari jeeps were at the centre. We then continued for another 2+ hours, seeing zebra, four rhinos altogether, some large tortoises crawling across the road and a herd of water buffalo. We then had a hotel lunch and I had a swim .
On the return journey we observed three Lions, another Hyena and seven giant Hornbill, We were back at the train soon after four, I wrote some WhatsApp’s and then read the Sunday Times up in the bar.
Supper was very good. Followed by sitting out on the observation deck
