Every person on a game drive wants to see the Big Five: elephant, leopard, lion, rhino and Cape buffalo. We took three game drives into Kruger, and although we saw a lot of animals, including the big five, I was disappointed because most of them were very far from were we were. I hadn't known that on a safari the vehicle stays on a road. For some reason, I had thought that the car would drive out in the fields, but we didn't. Perhaps it would be too dangerous to drive deeper into the park, but it would have made it more exciting. It wasn't until we got to Botswana and took a safari drive into the Chobe National Reserve that we really got close to the animals along with perfect conditions for photos. As in the pictures from Hluhluwe, I've divided the pictures according to the animals in them. Don't think that all of the animals were in their own area.
