I love how South Africans identify with the natural world.
I had a wonderful trip to Kruger National Park back in 1981. I remember staying in rondavels at Satara and Skukuza and somewhere north of there too. In addition to the animal spotting, I just loved the feel of the place.
I'm with you on that @ribuck. Thank you for you comment and I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip. The Kruger is not just a place - it's an experience!
