I have lots of safari photos to share with you today, from our trip back in July. Of all my experiences in South Africa, this is the one I’d been most looking forward to; Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa and is as large as some European countries! In our short visit, we saw only a tiny fraction of the park and still it was more amazing than anything I could have imagined – we saw dozens of different animals and birds, including all of the Big Five and lots more.<\/p>\n

\"Kruger
\nKruger is about 1800km (1100 miles) as the crow flies from Cape Town – South Africa is a big country!<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve taken quite a few of these selfies this year, with\u00a0me looking dishevelled and slightly delirious at having such a wondrous wildlife experience:<\/p>\n

Can you see the reason for my delight, over my shoulder? (Keep reading and you can share my excitement – I have close-up photos and even a little video to share with you…)<\/p>\n

So now let’s move onto my proper photos; I’ve spent months trying to choose from over 3000<\/strong> so I could show you a reasonable number! These galleries have left out a lot, but I hope they give you a taste of the real wild Africa. I’ve split the galleries so you can click into the groups you’re interested in, to see the full-size photos, and skip any you aren’t…<\/p>\n

Even without the animals, the park is a wonder of nature: massive, beautiful and unspoilt. Here’s an example of a Kruger day:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
