The Best Day Ever Leopard vs Crocodile

Kruger National Park, South Africa (see a map of Kruger )

Today has been one of the greatest days of my life. But it didn't start out that way.

We get up at 6:00 AM, not enough sleep, and go for a drive around Skukuza (the campground we stayed at.) From 6:00 til around 8:30 we don't see much. This is supposed to be the best time of day!? It is cloudy and dim. It looks like it might even rain. Not a great day for taking photos.

We return to the camp, buy groceries and eat breakfast. I photograph a few elephants across the river from the picnic area. <<

Then we head back out and things start happening. We stop on a nearby bridge to look at some hippos. They seem a bit agitated so we hang around for a while to see what happens.

Suddenly . . . . . NEXT >
