My trip to South Africa in 2004

Some Elephants in Krugger National Park
I went to South Africa in july 2004 as part of my uni degree, i was there for 2 weeks, it was so great. Aidan was only 18 months old, so i was sad sometimes because i was missing him so much, i am hopeing one day to take him to see the herds of elephants, girraffe and hear the lions roar all night long!


We were very luckly to see a lion kill in Kruger, the lions have learnt to chase Giraffe on to the road, the giraffe slip on the road and the lions have lunch. the best thing a bout this is, tourist can park on the road and watch all day! The black bit at the bottom of the photo is a car ! it was hard to get good photos because there was 20 cars parks in a half circle right next to the kill, the those tourist werent moving for no one! we watch for 30 minutes. the Kill was 3 hours old, so all the lions had eaten and were then resting. while we were there a female got up and started eatting again, then a young male lion, who didn t seem to belong to the group walked in, so then there was some growling, but they were all to full to get up and fight, so the male started eating!
