On Monday, 8/10, our tour proceeded to Mpumalanga, known as the Land of the Rising Sun. We travelled the Panorama Route and arrived at Perry's Bridge Hollow for 2 nights. This would be our base for visiting Kruger National Park the next day, Tuesday, 8/11. We arrived at the park early at 6:30 AM and waited in the line of autos to be admitted. Fortunately we met our ranger guide and climbed aboard to be one of the first vehicles to head out for a day of exploration!
The morning was busy as we sighted elephants, giraffes, zebras, and assorted hoofed animals. The highlight was the sighting of several female lions on the move. A line of vehicles had formed and waited in hopes the lionesses would appear. Our patience proved worth the wait as we saw 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 cats on the hunt. These animals move swiftly intent on their purpose to hunt and provide for others. Amazing sight!
The afternoon added a barrage of baboons and vervet monkeys, as well as hippos, more elephants and giraffes, and a mongoose. Our viewing ended with the sighting of an impala skin and horns hanging high in a tall tree. Our guide told us when a leopard makes a kill, the cat will take his capture to a high place to savor and enjoy leaving only the remains. A tasty meal is not shared with other animals!
My favorite sightings in Kruger were a lone rhinoceros and several Cape buffalo. These animals are of prehistoric origin and are impressive to see as survivors of past ages.
Very well ececuted. Hily recomended. Great experiance

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
