Spent the last few days inland, Swaziland and Kruger National Park, what an experience! We hit Kruger at sunrise and were not disappointed!

He WAS close, the beauty of Kruger Park, up close with the animals in their habitat, loved it!! He flapped his ears and snorted to let us know not to come any further, we listened!

Remember our moms telling us to eat all our food because there were children starving in Africa? Our bus stopped at a kindergarten school to donate food to the kids. They were so adorable, friendly and so appreciative of the fruit, sandwiches and cookies we gave them.

And then I see this, on the highway, driving up to Table Mountain, can't wrap my head around this. The cop in me says, "Why would anyone think this is ok?"

There's actually 2 kids back here, one on each adults' lap. "yeah, I'll hold on tight at the moment of impact"......sure.
