Africa Day 14

Day 3 at Kruger National Park.  We had a better day today.  Kids were better and we saw more animals.  Not any new ones, but it's still incredible to see these awesome animals in the wild.  We didn't ever see and lions, rhino, cheetah or leopards, but hopefully we will see some on our safari.  Kirt's parents were able to see all of those.
 Cape buffalo-it was only like 20 feet away
 Elephant-you can see evidence of the elephants everywhere.  There poop is huge and all over the road, there are trees knocked over all over the place, a bunch of trees are dying because they eat the bark off of them and then they die.
 Blue Wildebeest
 Giraffes-we watched these giraffes for a long time.  If you have never seen a giraffe run you should google it.  It is very strange to watch.
 Zebras

 There are maps like this at every rest camp showing where people saw animals today and yesterday.
 Place we stayed at the Berg en Dal rest camp.  It was a deluxe place for camping.  3 bedrooms, 2 bath, kitchen, satellite TV.
 We took a break in the middle of the day for swimming and playing at the park.
